Thank you John. Yes I went with the late war green since the sets I had on hand where for 109s this was a generic late war set that I also had. I had to cut the length on the lap belts since they ended up being way long.

That pit DOES look good Clint. These 190 cockpits are really a joy to build but much is hidden under that lower IP so not much of the forward part of it is seen when it's all said and done but it sure looks purdy out here in the open.
John: That looks like the "DORA" bible that you've got there. An essential reference for anyone that builds a D model.

I've got the Dora Volume One by Crandall. Those are pricey books but worth every dang penny.

I've been lucky in finding several Eagle Edition books at the used book store for a steal, I hope one day I will run into one or both of these Dora books.

Got a little work done on the Dora not much to show.
First is the gun barrels are drilled out now, I find it odd that eduard didn't mold them open to begin with.

Then just some test fitting of parts
Everything looks like it's going to fit together very well.
Thanks for looking in!
