Looks like an ambitious project....I'm going to follow this one!

Wow...that would count as high speed building in my house! It sucks when aftermarket stuff such as that quickboost cowling fit so poorly don't you think? But other than that this machine is coming together beautifully!

Bedankt, Wim! I must admit that I've thrown in some old pictures the past day. The build lasts since christmas '13, but I think it will be finished in the next two weeks. - And yes, I totally agree, bad AM-stuff really sucks!

phew....at least I feel better about being a slow builder now 😉

It take real commitment to start ripping your kits apart, but the results here are quite worth the effort. Great attention to detail and I love the "spatter" tip with the airbrush. 🙂

Thank you, Kerry. It was indeed a long way to go. The next Ede 190 will be much easier - it has to, got 5 more in stash. 🙂
Oh, and I added some more pics...

this is a dog of a kit if one's to close those open hatches - great work on those and the rest of crate as well, the Hptm. is proud! 👍

Excellent work, Torben!
But the build of this kit was a pure suffering at some points, hu? 👍

Thank you for the nice comments, Gentleman. Much appreciated!
Holger: Yes, on some points it was quite a PITA. But the more you suffer, the more you learn.

Torben, By your comment on suffering, I had to laughs as it sound like you have come to grips with the 'joys' of scale modelling mate !!! 🙂

Gerald, Erik, Danijel: Many thanks. I'm honoured by your words.
Kerry: Hello, my name is Torben and I have to confess... I'm... I'm... a modeller.

Excellent work! This is not an easy kit, but you made the most out of it.
