190 A for me! Always wanted someone to make one, do we get to choose our own paint scheme?

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. :wink:

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. :wink:

The 190 mod seems to be the stand out. :D

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 !!!!!! :shock:

BTW .

Does the 163's canopy look more like a Fw-190 canopy or a Mustang ?

It kind of looks like a Mustang's.

Good to hear that the FW 190 A is getting done. :D

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.

I'm def. interested in the FW-190 conversion. Will you be including any instructions for the conversion when you sell it?

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. :D

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