And finally.

And pretty much now done.

And another angle

New and improved and nearly done. Completely redone radiator flaps, new propellors, canopy fit only so-so.

And one more.

Here is the '152B with some more work and paint on it. I cut off the radiator to redo the flaps, they were too long, and will add them on later.

And another snap.

On the Fw190D-11, there are two gun ports for the Mk108s. A question/feedback for potential users - would a vac-formed part be too much of a nusance for you to cut out and fit? or a resin part be too much of a nusance for me to pattern, mold and cast? The later would be a major pain for me, as I'd have to do really fussy things to get reliable casts - versus a fairly simple matter of duplicting the current form for running up a mess of vacs. So, how about if I supply four bits for the conversion, and if you don't destroy all of them in the process, you'd have extras to dress up your '190As with the kit outboard Mg151/20s that need to have their gun ports replaced?
Here is what the part looks like.

The Special Hobby V-1/FZG-76/Fi-103 in 1/32 is the closest to an accurate kit of the subject I've found so far in any scale. There are a few surface details to quibble about/correct/add, but by and large it is pretty much right on for the subject. If anyone is really interested, I can list (or diagram once I figure out how to post images here) the details, though the kit straight out of the box is about 95% of the way to a correct representation. I don't have but have seen images of a deluxe edition kit with the motor valve assembly displayed that looks really good too. Have ordered but not yet received the 1/32 Reichenberg manned version as well, though images of it look very promising. I"ll also be doing a JB-2 from the kit as well with all the little detail differences. Glee!

From what I can best guess, the HA-1109 are original german-built '109G airframes and the HA-1112 are Spanish production and include provision for internal wing guns and rocket racks and have the wing fences. The K-1-L and M-1-L refer to the new engines.

Well, technically 1/35 scale, but building, with a lot of corrections, the Bronco V-1 and Reichenberg IV. The base kits are not awful, but have some odd bugs. Big one being the wing span and cord are notably off. The tail plane and elevator is in the wrong place (and the fuselage needs rescribing to go with it). The motor intake is the wrong profile, and there are various details that could stand to be redone, removed and repositioned, or added, depending on your level of rivet-counting. As I've been away for a good long while, it will take me a bit to figure out how to post images, but I'll have snaps of the progress. I'll be getting the Special hobby 1/32 V-1 and will compare and contrast.

Looking good. I did the same gear leg shortening to my several Trumpeter '262 builds and will do the same to the Revell kit I just started. Regarding the gun hatch and fuselage assembly and fit. I found the kit plastic both soft and thin and lacked really positive joints and alignment, so also struggled with the gun doors (just left them closed) and the forward canopy section. The wing root was also a bit of  a chore. Really liked the cockpit details, though added the emergency canopy release lever and faked in a decal for the electrical panel labels (an odd lapse in the kit) 

Finally got the parts patterned and first batch actually cast and aassembled into a demo build. I could have the first deliverable sets off to Eagle Editions this next week. (with a little luck)
