After 11 months of enjoyment, swearing and learning of new techniques she's finally done. Image
Some first-timers for me like pre and post shading, Future for canopy and decals and dealing with aftermarket the big way.

The model depicts the Arado built machine of Hauptmann Egon Mayer in the spring of 1943. The rudder shows 62 kills, which he had between February 14 and April 16. He was Commander of III. /JG 2 and a specialist in fighting bombers, shooting down twenty B-17, five B-24 and one B-26 until his death on March 2, 1944.

Man................whadda build! Nice job Mostrich. No criticism here that's for sure. I just love these Eduard 190s as you really get the most bang for the buck on the level of detail. They have their quirks in their construction but a little research is all that's required any more to find out what those are and how to overcome them. You did this thing right in the paint and weathering man.
Thumbs up here.

:oops:

Thank you very much, Gentleman. You're way too kind to an old gout-battered, half blinded man like me. :stinky:
Hanging around with you guys has pushed my standards in a very positive manner. It's a pleasure to be a part of this.

All the best,
Torben
