Dang! Your work never fails to impress. Just when I'd become over-saturated with the D model, you pull this off and revive the 190. Nicely done.
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. No use being a damn fool about it.

I only have a couple more photos of the plane on my hard drive, I sold this plane on ebay a couple of years ago so i can't take any more photos, but i always keep a floppy disk on each custom item i build, needless to say i have several hundred disk in box's --some i mark and most i don't,
i just throw the disk in the box once the item is built, and move on to the next Project, I'll dig around and see what i can find, I made molds so more planes could be built, I just never got around to building anymore.

Great Job!
I am SO waiting for the 1/18 "A" to be commercially produced. I am a big fan of it.
Just imagine all the re-paint possibilities!

Guy's
I have a couple of the cowling (nose) molds that i made for the A model, That i might be willing to turn a loose of or maybe trade to someone, But please keep in mind these are for a customizer only, but it will be a big start as far as building your own 190-A but you will still have a long way to go, I'll post a photo of this section later today (sat).

Yep. That makes me sick!
Absolutely amazing. I dunno how some of you guys do it! Makes me wonder how different the XD world would be right now if they did an "A".

Wow thats awesome!
Any chance of getting a run from the molds.
I know some of us would take on a "A" project.
I have 4 Dora's from the Victory deal in storage.

Rogue,
I only made 4 molds and they were sucked up fast, but sometime over the next few days i'll try to make more, the only problem is that my original casting mold is starting to break down, so give me a few days and i will work on it and see what i can come up with.
