Guest Peterpools Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Outstanding. It's nearly impossible to tell in this photo, we're not looking at the real deal. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Excellent work John; the photos make the bird standout nicely. I agree with Peter; several shots make it difficult to distinguish from an actual aircraft! Bravo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just awesome John. One of the nicest 190 models I've seen, and a tribute to your skill and perseverance. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Thanks guys! I know there were a lot of choice words thrown about, regarding this kit (I even had my own catharsis). However, I swore I was going to try to give it the justice that it deserves and I hope I accomplished that. I've waited for quite a few years for an early Wurger in "our" scale and I'm still thrilled that Ken and PCM were able to make it a reality. I've still got another, which will be an A-2, in the stash and I'm sure that one will be much easier for me. It may be a bit before I get to it, but I look forward to filling that gap in my 190 lineup. Thanks again, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mz826 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Very nice! I can only imagine the time that went into those rivets, they look fantastic. They look like the real thing. Great work on the whole model! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 A couple of quick shots that I took of the underside. I was trying to capture the rivet detail. As you can see, unless you are close, it's hard to see, except on the dirtiest parts of the plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilB Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Lovely job John! Really authentic weathering and paint job. Great build! Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 That looks so much like riveted sheet metal that it's hard to believe it's not! Fantastic. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
