The Airfix kit is quite nice...landing gear needs some help (I scratched new ones), but otherwise....well worth the few bucks!
I have one of these Eduard kits on the way as well!

Which of the 5 schemes do y'all like best???

Good morning, Manny! Hope you are well.

Mine will arrive tomorrow and I will build it right away. No in-box review, no whining about box qualities, the typos in Eduard's historical info for markings, no waiting for resin or PE sets or a decal sheet, no BS. Because it's Eduard, I won't be delayed by having to fill a million ejector pin marks like kits from Tamiya, Hasegawa, or Academy. Just me, the kit, a beer, and Steve Vai on guitar.

I like this one:


Fw 190A-8 1/72 - Maj. Walter Dahl, Stab/JG 300, Jüterbog, Germany, December 1944

Outstanding choice--Dahl's mount is a classic!

And I agree about what you wrote about about the whining, etc...In the ProfiPACKS EVERYTHING is included to build a kick-arse kit...

I saw an unpainted test-shot built up at the Nats this year and it looked like it fit very well...If they are half as good as their 110 series in 1/72nd we are in for a treat. Hopefully they will release more marks of the Wurger. And what about that cool box art!

I'm a big groupie of JG 5 'Eismeer' (Ice Sea) and their schemes, so I would really like to see you building the Blue 8.

Händel's ride with the chief head looks great too, though...

Actually, those are my top three:

1) Dahl's
2) JG 5 "Ice Sea"
3) Handel's (Indian Head)

...maybe I'll do ALL three...

Man, you're really thinking about a
Big 1/72 Scale Groupie Eduard Butcher Bird Profi Pack Triple Build?

I'm in.
