| If anyone is going to build that Fw 190 / M82 hybrid in 1/72 and needs a spare engine cowling, let me know. I have a K-pro La-5FN kit that I will probably have to use for spare parts for an Italeri La-5FN. Besides, the K-pro kit is missing a left rear wing and the wheels, and the canopy is busted to crap - so the kit is basically worthless. Good thing it was only 1$.  |

| As I seem to have spent most of the weekend asleep, I didn't get as much done to the 'Ar290' as I would have liked. I think I must have been bitten by a Tse Tse fly - just couldn't wake up at all on Sunday! Anyway, the decals are done, although I had to replace some which fell off! Don't know why, as one of them even had a coat of clear over the top! This led to the Werke Nummer being replaced, so now it's a four-figure number, not as intended, where it was going to be 029 in a production run of 150. One of the fuel triangles on the wing had to replaced, so don't look too close, or you'll notice it's a 'B4' sign, instead of the '87' triangles elsewhere! The radio mast has been shortened and re-profiled, and fitted to the rear of the cockpit decking, and the canopy painted and fitted, although this still has to be bedded down fully and sealed. Also, due to handling, some of the framework needs retouching. Holes have been drilled for the step and the lower antennas, as well as for the radio wire lead-in, and the tailwheel has been removed, with a hole drilled into the mounting. A new, larger tail wheel has been sourced from the spares box, which I think started life as a nose wheel off some jet! This has also been drilled, and a length of wire inserted, which will fit into the hole in the mount. The antennas will be scratch-built. The gunsight has been fitted, together with the windscreen, and again, this has yet to be sealed at the edges and re-touched as required. The model has been sprayed in clear semi-matt, and the next steps should see the landing gear, gear doors, tailwheel, prop and antennas fitted, along wiith the step and the wing cannons. Then, it should be finished!

| Thanks Dave! Haven't 'gone to town' on it, as it's just for fun, but I think it looks the part!
