190 A for me! Always wanted someone to make one, do we get to choose our own paint scheme?
A helicopter does not want to fly, it just vibrates so much that the ground rejects it

Re: What Mod should be next ?
I voted for a Focke-Wulf but there is a whole bunch more to that conversion than just a cowling, prop and spinner. The entire fuselage is deceptively different, especially around the exhaust area. Removing the insert at the rear of the fuselage would be the easiest part to change.

Yes there is a lot to do to convert the D to an A.
Chop off the tail extension . Shave off the rudder extension and a few other minor details.
This will have to be done by the modeler in order to get a proper A.
The way I am making the cowling should take care of all that needs to be done. Cut it off at a certain panel line and mount mine on.
The 190 mod seems to be the stand out.

Re: What Mod should be next ?
I ran the same poll over on the Fighting 18 forum.
There was not a lot of interest over there .
So here is the tally
Jumbo Sherman------------7
Sdkfz 251-------------------9
HUMVEE turret upgrade---4
Fw-190 BD-----------------14
DAK Helo upgrade----------8
Looks like the 190 won hands down. That will be next
As I am doing the Tiger II.
IF I CAN EVER GET DONE WITH THE LAST OF THE HORTENS !!!!!!
BTW .
Does the 163's canopy look more like a Fw-190 canopy or a Mustang ?
It kind of looks like a Mustang's.

Re: What Mod should be next ? The Fw-190 Mod Will be Next !
Good to hear that the FW 190 A is getting done.
Is there anyone here that would be doing the full conversion for others? I have 5 "Michaelski" Dora's that I have been hanging onto for repaints.

Re: What Mod should be next ? The Fw-190 Mod Will be Next !
For my bigger builds I do directions or do an online tutorial. The 190 conversion is rather simple. When I finish the cowling ( I am about about 90% done ) I will post how to's.USCGMK2 wrote:I'm def. interested in the FW-190 conversion.

I would say it is closer to a FW190D as far as canopy for the 183. Same designer, Kurt Tank
