There are two layers of Future applied and I have done the prophub, do not know if that is the right word.

The workbench is kind of messy.....

 

Just let it dry for a day or so.

Whoohoo, Go Rick, Go!!! Sorry I haven't had a chance to come by and say howdy more often, but I've been following along since the beginning. :unsure:

I've bought this kit at least 3 times in my lifetime, and it's one of the very few I never finished.(dunno why?) Really enjoying watching you take this model all the way to the finish. Really cool camo job too! Can't wait to see the next progress pics buddy. I'll be watching! Later, Russ

Well, I am actually finishing my Würger!!! Only a small, but nevertheless timeconsuming, things too do list. Never thought I would get this far.

 

Been putting on some small decals. I used the Hobby Decal dry transfer decals and they are great!! Had some trouble applieing them, some paint got loose, but I think they are top of the bill. Check it out

Lovely work Rick. She's looking terrific now. When you say you used the Hobbycraft dry transfers, did you mean Hobby Decal?

And put on some exhaust stains and smoke from the guns. I hope I did not put too much on it.

Made all of the antenna's on the plane. The Fw190 had a spring attached to the top of the tail and from there a wire ran to a isolator. Also from the canopy there was a small attachmentpoint for the wire to another isolator, from there is was a T shaped antenna that went in the hull just before the tail. Tried to make that.

The tailsection.

The canopy section. The wire's running on the windscreen is the deicing system for the windscreen.

A full vieuw of the antenna.

The antenna's on the bottom of the plane.

Suddenly the end of my things too do list, which means that the plane is finished.!!!
