I started off with a Tamiya Fw190 D-9, cut the nose off and replaced what was missing with a Jumo 213 inverted V-12 engine/ mounting from an Aires engine / cockpit set. I used limited cockpit parts from the set due to the fact that I had a spare Eduard Fw190 A8/R2 kit to rob some awesome PE parts and detailed plastic parts from( Will get to that later). I also opened up one wing root cannon on the port side of the aircraft and used CMK's under carraige update set to display the tail wheel retracting mechanism through the access panel on the port side of the tail fin. The landing gear got a total upgrade due to Tamiya's inherent problem with the landing gear being WAY too short on these kits. I used the Eduard landing gear struts and doors from my spare kit to correct that issue. Also used from my spare Eduard 190 kit were the sliding canopy section (just a lot of detail in those things), the instrument panel(to include PE) , control stick, rudder pedals (PE), wing root cannon access panel and I ended up ordering a spare Eduard 190D-9 kit and using the cowl machine gun access cover out of it due to the fact that the Aires panel just literally sucked, but already ordered my replacement part to once again complete that kit and have another D-9 to build. The parts used from the spare kit were just too good to NOT use. Paints are Vallejo Air acrylic on the exterior and Model Master acrylics throughout the interior and nose section of the aircraft. All in all I had a good time with this build until it came time for the Aires engine access panels but I made it though it ok.
At the last show she didn't do too bad either. A special award for Best WWII Axis Aircraft in Show:

I'll post this one up top again as well. This is my favorite build to date aircraft wise. Really enjoyed putting this one together.
