I really like that. It's got 'tired' written all over it - great painting JJ.

That's a fine looking D-11!

Any problems with the build of this kit?

Fantastic work! I'm quite jealous - the Eduard 190s just seem to have my number... :fencing

Thanks to all for kind comments, LES - it's not too bad, the biggest problem I had was the wing gun covers and it was a big problem but otherwise no major issues - but in truth I think I was lucky judging from some other folks build of these kits.

yep, that's about the area that I throw the thing away. Think I also had a problem with major gaps at the wing root. Twice burned, won't try another.

That's a great pity MP because one thing that really struck me when I had the recently completed Tamiya D 9 on the table next to this one and that is that the Eduard plane just looks far better in all aspects and even shape. I got quite a few more of these and I'm going to try and squeeze in another couple this year.

Wonder if we're talking about the same kit. The one I keep having problems with is that A-8.

Obvious not the same kit but wonder if the base kit is the same.

I did the same kit MP but just the A6 version, this one..



which has all the same sprues accept for some differences and that built up pretty good too but yes I do remember some cockpit and wing fit issues but again my biggest head ache was the gun covers.

Guess I'm to used to Tamiya
