Hi,
when I looked in my spare-parts box I discovered the remains left over from my TA and ME 209 builds plus some usefull things of an old FW 190 A Hasegawa kit. At the same time I read an article in a Flightmag about the illfaited FW 190 C. Why not use this leftovers to build it?
At first it was my intention to build the V30 with the exhaust driven supercharger under the belly, but I thought try the V-16 first the V30 won't run away.

The sparebox:

The most difficult work so far was outmilling the the undercarriage-well of the A-wing.

Well I don't like expensive aftermarket products specially PE-parts.
You can't seee much of the instrument panel of a FW even when the cockpit hood is open. So I decided to use my venerable Corel Draw and designed a panel which I printed on foto-paper and cemented it into the cockpit.

Off went the supercharger intake of the Jumo and the bulges of the cowl weapons. By the way, to my knowledge the V16 never carried any weapons during its life.
