discussion Tim’s 1/48 Eduard FW 190 A-2

[Tim Marlow]

Hi all.
This will be my tribute build for this GB.

Looks good in the box.


Nice crisp sprues, though there seem to be two sets of wings….


Lots of canopies….I’m sure all will become clear once I start…..


Good decals, masks, a bit of resin, and cockpit etch…


Excellent instruction book with five potential colour schemes, all Western front types.

It will be a couple of weeks before I start, but thought it time I got the thread up and running….just wish we were doing this for a happier reason.

Nice choice Tim. These Eduard Profipack kits are usually rather good. Decent price and lots included.

 

[Steven000]

Looks like another excellent kit indeed, looking forward to your build Tim. Cheers

 

[Tim Marlow]

Cheers guys. Looking forward to building this myself…l.

 

[Valeron]

This'll be a fun build I think.

This'll be a fun build I think.

Hope so. The last couple of Eduard I’ve done were excellent kits

Looks like a cracking kit Tim. I didn't realise those Eduard kits came with so much extra gubbins...

[Tim Marlow]

The Profipack ones do Nick. They are really good value. Last one I built was one of the zeros, and I think it was the best kit I’ve ever built…

 

[Geoffers]

Looks a corker Tim, looking like to watching you put this together

Very nice Tim, it should be a good un.

Very nice Tim, it should be a good un.

Thanks Garry…..I hope so

 

[Tim Marlow]

Bit of progress made now….
Office done ready for buttoning up…..





and a pilots eye view (more or less)….


The eagle eyed amongst you will notice that the joystick isn’t from the kit…..the original is in orbit somewhere around Jupiter so I scratched a replacement from nickel silver wire…..should be good enough in a closed up fuselage, especially as the front screen support is still to be fitted over the top of the instrument panel…...

Very nice interior Tim.
