I did not glue the window. There is enough friction fit to put it in both positions.

THe figures in this kit are really nicely detailed. 
 

Album image #22
First layer of base paint is XF-50 for the uniforms and XF-59 for the shute. 
 

Album image #23
I lightened up the uniforms a bit before detail painting with XF-18. 
 

Album image #24
All detail painting were done with Vallejo model paints and washes.

Here they are planning a secret mission with an invisible map in front of the FW 190 😉. 
 

Album image #27
The kit supplies a map but you have to cut the instruction manual, so I made a photocopy of it and sprayed it with clear coat on both sides. It is now glued to the figures. I guess they have sticky fingers 😉.

I've started building 48-scale Kübelwagen. Another nice little vehicle to go with my airplanes. Everything is painted and decals are on, so next step is weathering. I save the figures for last.

Thank you Olivier and Wim! 🙂
@Wim, that one is on my wishlist too, along with a bf-109 in desert camo 🙂. This one I will place with the FW 190.

Thank you Erik! 🙂
And now the figures are finished also. The only thing left is the map, right now it is invisible. They are planning a secret mission😉.

Thanks Wim! The collection is growing, but so is also the kit stack, especially this time of the year😉.
