looks great, how did you find fitting the engine, thought it was overly fiddly myself.

[lostinhull]

Thanks guys.

The engine was indeed a pig to fit (and keep everything attached/lined up).

I quite enjoyed building the wings & wheel bays however - the construction of that part was quite well thought out

Nice work mate, looks great!

Nicely done!

[Crimea_River]

With all. That picture shows off Eduard's nice rivet details very well.

[lostinhull]

Cheers folks. Appreciate the comments

Enjoyed this one most of all - much more of an involving build.

[TimEwers]

well it looks nice at least it's not a yellow 13 but something about the canopy don't look right to me. Looks a little frosted

[lostinhull]

something about the canopy don't look right to me. Looks a little frosted

Ah, that'll be a little PVA overspill between the armour plating & canopy - yet another painful learning point

[Wurger]

Looking very nice. Well done.

[Airframes]

Just noticed - is the cowling panel over the nose guns on back to front?!

[Erich]

actually historically correct W. Möritz's mount would have aerodynamic fairings over where the mg 131 cowling mgs would be housed. The Sturm Fw's of JG 3 did not need the mg's for attacking the bombers from the rear in July/August 1944 as war time photos depict, by the end of August 1944 the blue-black paint camo and white Rumpfbands were removed and the typical 1944 two tone greys became the norm for camo paint, even the flying Red U insignia was removed.

nice looking model
