Focke Wulf Fw190 Willi Maximowitz

Dan Cook
Nice kit. No where near the detail of the Eduard one. Goes together like lego! Focussing on the mottled paint job.

Spanjaard
excellent cockpit. looking forward the rest 🙂

Clifford Keesler
Looking good. How is the kit?

Dan Cook
Detail is not great. The gaps on the side in the pics are bit disappointing considering it is Tamiya. Goes together well.

Thomas Bischoff
nice progress on this - remember having read an article in a German model magazine about years ago.

Clifford Keesler
I think Eduard is just about setting the standard for all kit makers to follow. Even their weekend kits are excellent.

Dan Cook
I have an Eduard A8 and D in the stash. I am warming up with this one!

Clifford Keesler
I will be waiting to see them.

Thomas Bischoff
Coming along nicely 👍 - I have found my references only now: Willi Maximowitz flew a "Sturmbock" which means it had additional armour plates on both sides of the cockpit (looks like the boxart is showing them) and it lacked the MG 131 above the engine. The fuselage crosses were not pure black but were oversprayed with gray.

Dan Cook
Tamiya kit has stickers for the armour plates. Not a fan and I have cut the top mg's off above the engine. Need to sort the scheme. Going to paint the RLM 76 on the underside later.

Thomas Bischoff
perfect 👍! I was not sure about the armour plates as they are not visible in the pictures.

Dan Cook
They are not great. But they are there!

Dan Cook
Thomas added pictures of the armour and removed mg's

Thomas Bischoff
Thx! Looks like a great kit - painting may be bit of a challenge 🙂

Michael Stewart
That's a beauty!

Clifford Keesler

Cool looking Butcher Bird and your doing a nice job of this one, I've always like the 190 with the black cowl.👍

Björn Svedberg
