The new Trautloft 190 escaped its box tonight finally. So proud. Filing, assembly, searching the carpet for the little bits that blew off the springy plastic sleeve when I bumped it, and decals took 45 minutes. Just the way I planned it.

I do like these hefty little Dragon birds though. Best feel in the trade I say.

LMAO!! I wholeheartedly agree.......
I love Dragons Fw-190s, but it is an exercise in patience to get everything on and aligned decently.

That is one fine looking Fw 190. Do these come with stands? I've never bought a Dragon bird for their lack of certain markings, this one makes it hard to resist. If only I would be willing to put the proper decals on I would get this one and their trop Bf109 Black 6.

Hmmm....maybe one day one of these will show up in the classified section already done for me.

Oh, don't let a little thing like decals stop you. Paint yes, decals no! Aibrush work is for the artists but these Dragon birds are worth the trouble.

Call Squadron tomorrow and order:

I sheet Aeromaster Swastikas in 72
I bottle Micro sol
I bottle Micro flat

Brush, tweezers, Q-tips, something to chew on or smoke while you work.

Voila!

Nice work! I have just noticed that I don' t have very many Luftwaffe planes - I may need to pick this one up to shore up the collection.

Have to get one of those Dragon 190s, looks a bit better than the Corgi all white 190s.

Very nice looking Fw190.

Today some MB close-ups. I got rid of my FM Old Crow last week and replaced it with this little sucker. I could not be happier.
A fine little model for $15.

The 190s are among my favs and I still have not purchsed the Barr 190 from DRW because of this little gem.

Enjoy the shots.

I agree i have the same ones....MB did a great job on these...To bad they did not make a gear down for these too...
To this day i think the Fw190A is one of the best ones out there.
Looks better when you added the swazi on the tail.

Another nice SBD from HM today. 2 new ones today as I already added the Kate to the proper thread in the HM section.
This Dauntless is a keeper but the wash on the white parts is a little heavy for me.
