I found I have a Tamiya 1/48 Long Nose 190 that I glued the wings together several years ago. Now I don't feel like I'm starting a new kit to neglect a bunch of other 1/2 built ones... So that is what I'll be building for this. Will post picture later.
Edit -- Here are the pictures of the current state of the styrene

Looking forward to watching you build this one up Chris. |

I have a few Italeri reboxes of the Drago 190D that I may be able to rob the main gear legs from...  |

Got any pictures of those past built 190's Chris? That'd be something to see. |

Here are three of them. I have one or two more hiding somewhere in storage containers...     |

Nice collection, Chris. And a properly messy building area!

this is where the Tamiya Dora stands. Most of the cockpit painting is done and fuselage is joined. Been messing around with this new Mig Dry Brush Paint. Used in on the rear canopy deck. Might now look to realistic, but I like it. Also changed up my interior color. Seems all the RLM 66 equivalents I have appear to be a bit to dark IMO, so I decided to use Tamiya XF-77 Sasebo Arsenal Grey for the main cockpit color.  Brace added to help lower engine cowling extend to match profile of fuselage/wing center.  A bit a dry brushing and washing...   |

First of all, your build here is off to one good start Chris. These Tamiya 190's are almost too easy in terms of assembly and you're doing a great job with all the details.
Secondly, I missed your past D9 builds that you posted up a few days ago but wanted to comment that I REALLY liked your take on "Black 10". Camo work and the worn effects on the yellow tail make this one stand out among the crowd. I built "Black 10" from a Tammy kit as well around 10 years ago and built mine all opened up and with the vertical marking on the side mostly painted over as she was right before her capture.

Chris, I don't know if you've tried it but I use XF-24 as my RLM66 Thanks TJ, If that's German Grey, yes, still to dark for me, but thanks for the tip. I probably was just looking to find a reason to use that bottle of xf77 sine I have no idea why I bought it and will never admit that I may have a paint buying problem...  |

All caught up with this and I really like the effect your wash gave the cockpit. Your previous 190 builds are gorgeous!

Well, one thing's for sure... you have a great airbrush and the talent to wield it. Those paint jobs look pretty frick'n sweet.
This one is coming along nicely (and quickly). I haven't built too many planes, so I like the brace idea to solve that type of problem. Filed away in my mental storage files.
