Thank you! Finally I managed it to put the pics in here - just with the help of Sven ('Crazy Kraut'), thanks again, Sven! ...and yes, it is the 1/18 scale, smaller scales don't work for me. Later this weekend I will post some more pics. Bye for now. Chris

Fantastic work he219...great work on all the detail as mentioned and the pitot tube, antenas look smashing...also welcome to the forum!
The sign of a great model is that one’s eye is not drawn to any one feature, yet one can study it for hours and continually find something new.

FW 190 rear wheel :

I notice in all the F&W 190 that the rear wheel is not extended : if you pull carefuly it extend a little and give a better look (higher stance )

Fantastic looking Dora, He 219. 8)

FW 190 is one of my favourite WWII aircraft, and just wish the 21C 1/18 models were done better. :( Compared to other 21C 1/18 the Dora's suffer from bad, poorly applied paint.

A real shame.

Would love to get just one of these Dora's as an awesome custom.
