A rear three quarter view of the Wurger. I found a profile of this particular aircraft on a German website.

You did a great job especially the painting on this, my favorite airplane. You have inspired me to someday do it in the 500 series which is close to 1/24 scale. The bird ensignia is available in 1/24th scale. I believe Heinz Bar flew a similiar marked aircraft Because markings being available I'm kind of hung-up on 1/24 scale. Again great job.

VERY NICE!!

Jerry, funny you should mention that - I instantly gravitated towards that 190 - I know which one you are talking about, but I nixed it because I did not think that my airbrushing and masking skills were to that level yet. Knowing that there is a 1/24 decal kit out there is a nice tip. Thanks!

Great job! There are a bunch of aircraft graphics posted here (39 pages!) http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=359029 . The Eagle just happens to be on page one. Quality on many is marginal, but as a pattern for cutting out or for reference, these are a nice start.

I did the 500 series 190 and had no trouble painting it with an airbrush. After the decals were applied I oversprayed everything with Testors Dullcoat in a spraycan which dulled everyting uniformly, therefore there was no need to use tissue for markings. Dullcoat must be sprayed before a canopy is added or the canopy must be taped. Dull coat will cloud the canopy.

Jerry, I just checked out your 190. All I can say is "that's how it's done!" That looks better than most expertly built plastic models. What did you do for numerals and decals? Are they from an aftermarket decal set?

I'm not David Duckett or Poppy so I use after market decals when ever possible, which is why I usually build in 1/24th scale. The Fw 190 was a favorite of mine since I was a 6 or 7 year old child (I'm now 72) and I've build many of them in various scales over the years. I've only recently begun building stick and paper models again.
