Hi, I started my 1:48 Hobbyboss FW190D-13 while I finish off one or two other projects.

Cockpit finished, needs the fuselage halves closing up.

Hand-painted with PE belts and decal dials.

Feedback welcomed

Nice start on the cockpit!

Beautiful looking cockpit alex , do the shoulder belts fasten to the fuselage on these? I’ll be following keenly as Ive often been tempted by these hobbyboss 190d s , they pop up on ebay at very reasonable prices , seeing this might just tip me over the edge to get one , cheers tony

Tony,
the HB FW-190D's are very nice models, at, as you say nice prices. The only slightly negative point is that apart from the D-9 model ( 81716 ) , the rest were prototypes, or paper projects!

The D-11 and D-13 weren't prototypes

Very nice. For a dark cockpit, it's actually quite colourful.

OK - 20 D-11's & one D-13, so not a lot of marking options!

LATE update, here we go.
What are your thoughts on the wooden flaps? They need staining in clear yellow or orange yet, but not sure.
