Holger KranichHi Murad, i have this kit, too. The engine is a model in a model! Great work, please dont hide it!

Murad ÖZERDaniel Spanjaard and Rui thank you very much.
Holger i am torn. nose section has lovely details inside however 190 is just a beautiful warbird and i can't bring myself to disrupt it's lines and curves with opening the hatches. also the engineering of the kit is a bit fiddly, in the end it's not going to be how i want but how it could be built. by the looks of it gun cowl is ok to pose open yet the engine i am not so sure really, nothing seem to fit well enough around the radial engine, if you can imagine.

Holger KranichI know what you mean, she has so beautiful lines... So you Need a second engine to Display besides the Fw-190.😉

Bryn CrandellExcellent detail work on the engine. You could display it by intself. Agree with you about the lines of the 190.

Murad ÖZERengine is finally mated to the fuselage.
nothing went according to plan of course, in order to line things up lower doors had to be glued for good.
otoh side doors will remain open, i am actualy cheating but got no other option for the alignment and fit in general is rather terrible... this is just the beginning of course, lots of filling and sanding ahead, especially with the ring that is going to be at the very front, it's definitely outta scale (bigger).
soldering on.

Murad ÖZERMike, Stefan and Sebastian thank you very much. 🙂
@Roland: Thank you too and yes what you see is what you get, except:
-brake lines on the mlg are stretched q-tips
-aerial wires as well
-'tikas on the tail are from the spare decals box. i'm sure you know the deal with those and revell = verboten!
as for the kit, it's actually one of revell's good kits but still be prepared for an engaged building stage especially with the engine section. it's by no means a tamiya like shake and bake kit. but once you are passed the engine section and the cowlings it's a breeze to build.
apart from this my only disappointment was with the cockpit. the ip is ok however side console details are only decals, there is no detail on plastic. at 32nd scale it's a bit of a downer, so if you can try to invest for some detailing in the cockpit.
no kit is perfect and don't take my criticism as a no no, on the contrary it's a great kit for it's price that needs a bit care that's all.

Nathan DempseyI agree that is some great work all around. The camouflage looks superb and that engine is a work of art. 🙂
