That’s an impressive start! Cheers, Tom

I always love watching your work Denis and this one is magnificent! Cheers, Tom -
Thank you Chuck! Your encouragement has helped me through the build. Cheers, Tom
-
Thank you Jim, and it’s an honor that this is your first post! I too really gravitate towards the unusual schemes. I hope you enjoy your build as much as I did. Cheers, Tom

Thank you! I’m pretty happy to see this one through. And I agree: N=n+1 where n is the number of FW-190 kits I have and N is the number of kits I ought to have 😊. Cheers, Tom

Thank you Matt. It’s one of my favorite schemes as well. I’ll avoid the RLM 74/74/76 scheme whenever I can! Thank you Kev. I’ve appreciated your encouragement throughout the build. Thanks for seeing it through! Cheers, Tom

Andy, thank you! I've really appreciated your encouragement through the build. Thank you Martin! As the build proceeded I was continually impressed with the engineering and level of detail that went into this kit. Thank you so much Denis! Your work has been a definite inspiration for this and my other builds. Thank you Mal! I had a lot of fun with the camouflage and the chipping. This last was done mainly with a Prismacolor grey and brown pencils. Cheers, Tom

And I've finished the build at last. After starting in December 2023 it's rewarding to see this one across the finish line. I really enjoyed the kit a lot, from cutting the first parts off the sprue to positioning the landing gear indicator rods today. Like all Zoukei Mura kits that I've built (this is number five) I've learned a lot about how the actual airframe came together. This kit isn't without its challenges but with careful planning and dryfitting I can recommend it highly. Here's a few photos before the RFI post. Cheers, Tom

Well done Alex! The build, paint, markings, and weathering all look great. Cheers, Tom
-
That’s very impressive work! Cheers, Tom
-
Well done Alex, those look like very good color matches with the decals. Cheers, Tom

Thank you so much for sharing this. Your work is truly inspiring! Cheers, Tom -
Just catching up here Dave, and it looks great! Cheers, Tom

I just saw this, haven't been over to the Non-LSP Works page in a while, but I love the work you and your son put into this. The I-8 is such a cool car and you both made it better! Cheers, Tom

Making more progress: I've assembled, painted, and added the propellor as well as the gunsight and instrument shroud. For the propellors I faded the RLM 71 towards unpainted metal on the rear faces per period photos. Closing in on weathering! Cheers, Tom
-
Thank you Kevin! Today I started prepping the prop and spinner, then on to the canopy. Cheers, Tom
-
Thank you! And I tend to agree 😊. Thank you John! It's nice to be in the closing stages at last. Sincerely, Tom

I've managed to complete painting and applying markings to the airframe, adding the stylized "5" over a white circle and the "2" that shows up on the wing leading edges. In the photos below the leading edge wing panels just outboard of the landing gear are just press fit, so they'll be better integrated once glued into position. Next up will be final assembly, and I realized that I last worked on assembly well over a year ago, so it's nice to bring this one to the finish line. Cheers, Tom

C’est une construction magnifique ! Cheers, Tom
