Been lurking watching your build, I have this one in the pile. been awesome watching your progress, there is lots of good info on this kit here, and I'm really digging the paint. I think it's because a non-standard paint scheme.

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

A show stopper for sure. Fine work and congratulations. And as always, you can't have too many Fw190s
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 😊.

Thank you Matt. It’s one of my favorite schemes as well. I’ll avoid the RLM 74/74/76 scheme whenever I can!7 minutes ago, LSP_Kevin said:Looks fantastic, Tom! Congrats on a fine result.

She's a beauty Tom and very nicely done on a difficult colour scheme. A start date of December 23 is pretty quick in my book once I get dissolutioned with a build and start playing with another!
Cool build indeed Tom.
Regards. Andy
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.

You went for a really challenging camo scheme and totally nailed it.
Looks amazing.
I absolutely love it!
Thank you so much Denis! Your work has been a definite inspiration for this and my other builds.

I like it very much.
and that cammo scheme, very very nice, aswell that subtle chipping.
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.

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.

Chuck,
You certainly gave this kit due diligence and I appreciate the time and effort you put into tackling it and sharing this with us.
On to better kits!

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!

Very nice work. Can't have too many Focke Wulfs.
Thank you! And I tend to agree 😊.

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
