Ah what the hell, I really fancy building something in 1/48th and it's been years since I built a FW190. Also being new to the forum it'd be nice to join in with you guys and get to know you all a bit better
Joe put me down for one of these - don't get too excited, it'll be badly built and brush painted.
Cheers!

First off, this'll be fun to watch you build up and secondly.......what....EVER on the build quality. You'll do a great job at this Stuart. Glad to have you in here brother.
LOL! Well I should do okay :-D Thanks oe - glad to be here!

A short update now that I got back to the bench this weekend. I received the Eduard A-8 engine a couple of months ago and decided to start on that before continuing on the bird. I painted a black base and started to add various metallics to it Using reference photos of 190 engines. I'll continue painting and weathering it tomorrow. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/1861/cw3muO.jpg)

It's great to see you have this on the bench! The BMW801 will look awesome with the cowls open! Wonderful progress you have made on it so far with the cockpit done and installed inside the fuselage

Here is the engine with the wires attached. I don't know when I'll be back at the bench but I'll try to finish the engine then. ![](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/img924/5966/pl3Du2.jpg)
