Nice Dora there Jamie. I'm a FW190 junkie so any FW is great

Cracking, self same model as i've just made, also was a members lady wife's first build just recently too, they are a lovely looking plane aren't they.

Between the Spit and Hurricane i'd pick the latter any day but between the 109 and 190 it's a tough call.

Mine here:

Lovely little kit isn't it for a cheap and cheerful Airfix.

Hurricane and 190 all the way for me

Thanks for the comments. It's no way near as good as yours M1ks though

Well it looks fine to me. It just goes to show that you can get a good result with the old hairy stick. Bf109 or Fw190? It's a big question and very dependent on time/variant but if I'm taking on allied fighters post 1943 I'll take the Fw190.

Cheers

Thankyou, as I said in mine there were bits I wasn't happy with but as per Stona's post, yours is a cracking paint job for a brush, especially if you used the kit supplied paints and brush to boot.

Also brave to do the mottling by brush, I was never brave enough to attempt that when I built these kind of kits as a kid, (If I recall, most ended up with a generic RAF style Hurricane camo pattern)
