    One question, if I may: it's just my impression or that 190, being stationed in Piacenza, was painted with Regia Aeronautica paints? Even the scheme, to my eyes, is more Italian than German.

    Congratulations Tony.
    Thanks a lot guys really appreciated, and thank the committee john . You may have got a point there Andrea , using local regia aeronautica colours would make sense . Cheers tony

      Sorry Tony, I thought I’d commented on this.
      Stonking build! The icing on the cake is the B & W comparison pictures. Top notch stuff.

              I said so on the build thread,but after seeing those latest pics,I have to say it here too....
              .... Absolutely love it Tony,a superb result,and the black and white photos look a perfect match
              As for the chap on the wing,it depends on how far you want to go really...... Tamiya do a 1/48 German infantry set which has two lying down figures,mg gunner and ammo feeder guys,it would be fairly straightforward to adapt the arms and shive off the jacket to shape a torso... Just a thought

                Great result Tony. I could swear the pics were of a 190 in a bigger scale!
                Interesting scheme too - don’t see too many desert camouflaged 190s.
                Cheers

                          Looks like shirtless guy is holding the antenna lead. Isn't that the dead end? Great job.

                              Splendid finish Tony. I also like a nice desert camo' scheme which you have created perfectly here.
