Here it is, finished at last.
Eduard 1/48th FW-190D-13. Seatbelts/buckles scratch, vinyl covered paperclips for the 20mm wing cannons, Fug-16 antenna added under fuselage, Visual gear indicators added, wing topsides. Hasegawa landing gear and droptank/rack used. Brake lines added to gear legs. Note slack antenna cable, as blown canopy FWs did not have a tensioner installed. Piece of Contrail tubing installed inside spinner to represent 30 mm cannon muzzle.

Note, the zero in the yellow 10 on the right side is slightly higher than the 1, this is true to prototype. Topside paints are WEM
Colorcoats, RLM 75, RLM 82, and RLM 83. Oh, and note that the RLM 75 wheel covers are RLM 76 at the top. Again, true to
prototype. Decals are a combo of kit and Eagle Cals. I really did enjoy the paint work, Basic paint job took about 6 hours.
Enjoy the photos.
