Before glueing the wings, a section of sprue is inserted in the fuselage, in order to have a correct karman seam.

Starting this « long nose », with the engine bay. Seriously, more than 20 parts... not a piece of cake. Tried to make it quite dirty, with an oily aspect.

Cockpit is completed, now working on the fuselage and the wings. This Eduard kit is really good, with quite perfect fittings, but building is complicated...
Why do you have to put the exhaust pipes and the tail wheel before closing the fuselage ???

A piece of over engineering RV 😄. Nice to see another subject of "De Nachtuil" (as it's called here in Pays-Bas) comic. No doubt you will build another fine piece.

Thanks Erik !
« Over engineering », that is the exact idea about this kit !

Building phase almost completed. Small details made of plastic card have been added. The installation of the upper panel cintrol is just a pain in the a.. ! Additional plastic is needed...

an absolutely perfect job 👍 to build the Eduard Fw 190D closed is really a job for Nerve-strong modellers, the colors are just as clean over as they are for the Fw of H.U. Packs are repeatedly shown and dikutiert. Simply magical

Many thanks mates !
Nice kit once completed, but clearly I wouldn't recommand this kit for beginners... lot of work to achieve this Dora: fittings issues and quite a lot of (small) corrections to do.
