This small kit has more parts than the 163 itself! Might even over-shadow it in detail ))) Super review Jim..

Damn! This is the nicest 190 set I've ever seen! That cowling panel is lovely!! Love the review too by the way

CCooooooll! And i still can't get over the sheer size... Well done mate!

Y E S !

Love it! You don't see these built very often. Would look great next to the Arado 196...

It can! Perfectly round now. I moved my attention to the canopy door. These pics show some needed detail. Lever. Hinge. Locks. Lever: Hinge: Locks: And this round thing: Work in progress: And... I got the paint i need for the 3 color camo: Brown: FS20059 >> Gunze H17 Green: FS24077 >> Gunze H36 Beige: FS26360 >> Gunze H332 (This beige is actually light aircraft grey...)

We'll baptise her with beer when she's finished! Liking the rockets!

Some more small progress. The Master barrels sets arrived. All squashed and flattened in the mail. So i looked for a rod with exactly the right diameter to round it out again. The solution was found in a large paperclip that fitted the bill. Then i fastened the barrels in a drill bit and sanded the hexagon bold off. Also finished masking the whole canopy, with the opening part both inside and outside.

Sweeeet! What materials did you use??

Welcome!!! Followed this on Facebook. Great to have you here!

Noise! You've found it's hart!

Ok, some good news and some set back. First of all I managed to screw up the shaft. Or shaft the shaft in proper english. I got some paint on it (the unwanted kind) and dipped it in aceton. This caused the parts to become... rubber! Mailed Silver Wings and a new one is already on the way! But this weekend i did manage to mask and fit the canopy and add the wheels: But then I noticed an error I made. So be wary of following my lead. The instructions tell you to make the upper cockpit framing all with tubing. 6 tubes going up and one small horizontal one connecting them. Like so: However, the only tubes you need to make are the two 90 degree vertical ones behind the seat and the two 30 degree ones going back down, making an inverted V. The other tubes are integral part of the canopy clear part! So I removed them (while the canopy was glued) and fixed it. Pretty happy with my handiwork:

Sweet!!

Lovely...

That gunrack looks the part mate!

Needs ailerons!

Damn noisy!!!

Ha! Cool! Why not post a photo of your finished model?!

It reminds me of the Taurus engine i tried to fit in the WnW cowling of the Fokker E.III. It's an easy fix. Just a little work to make it look ok.

Ok. Meeting some resistance. The engine is slightly too big in diameter for the cowling. So I sanded away the connection rim inside the cowling and sanded the entire cowling way thinner all around. And now it fits! What you see here are 5 parts: And added the second wing too: So far it's a pretty smooth ride! Cheers, Jeroen

Great start! Might have to get me one of these one day...

Absolutely love it! Nicely done...

Super cool banners Laurent! You've got some talent!

Thnx Marcel, The fuselage is closed and the radio sits pretty deep in the rear fuselage, making only the fronts of the radio's visible. In the meanwhile i finished building the Bristol Mercury engine:

Oh lord... I've seen your build on Facebook, but these larger pics really do it justice. That is one sweet Mig! It's actually a pretty good kit. Good fit and pretty detailed and correct from the box. Love to see some washes on it!
