Well here is my top flite 190 build so far.

RE: top flite
 

Jeeze I really need to clean up my work space.

I think I see a plane under there.

Those TF Gold Edition warbirds are terrific kits. Your FW looks good so far.

RE: top flite
 

Nothing better than Cranberries and a 190 for dinner!!! Nice looking so far. Keep us posted, Good Luck, Dave

I think you need to remove that radio from the workbench, as it is taking up too much space! :)

Tell me about it, my project has taken over the entire room now.

RE: top flite
 

Never clean your shop until after the build or at least until it's time to cover or you won't be able to find what your looking for. I even leave the cob webs up to help collect the dust.
Nice build!!

Going kind of slow, but Ive almost finished the wing now.

RE: top flite
 

looking good. bet you finally feel you're accomplishing something when it finally starts to take shape.

RE: top flite
 

Wow! Looking relly good. Keep us posted mate ;)

RE: top flite
 

Thanks for the compliment.

RE: top flite
 

Wow
Looks real good. Wish I could find this kit. I am currently building TF Corsair.

RE: top flite
 

I happened to catch the kit just before they stopped building it. Enjoy your corsair build, that one looks even more challenging than the 190.

Finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thought I would try a different technique for finishing off my model. I used a wood sealer, then shot the wood with a sandable primer. Next, I gave the primer a quick sanding, then used a slightly watered down wood filler to fill in the grain and other defects. Finally I gave the wing another quick sand. I think this should give me a smooth painted finish without much weight.

They dont sell that bird anymore do they?

RE: top flite
 

no they don't, and i want 1!

RE: top flite
 

I also want one

RE: top flite
 

Its been I good building kit, the only bad side to this kit is the scale looks of the cowling and the gun hood cover. If you are looking for a 60 sized dora you could try the skyshark, it has a smaller wing span but the cowling is interchangable so the fuselage might be about the same size.

RE: top flite
 

Ok, I finally got the top of the wing completely prepared for paint. The second picture has the chemicals I used to get the final finish, if anyone is interested.

RE: top flite
 

Jeff, I'm working on the TF P-47 and would rather not go with Monokote but I'm curioius how hard of a finish your method will provide. Any updates? Thanks,

Jeff have you got it up in the air yet?! :) Pictures pictures :)

RE: top flite
 

No, I'm back and school and progress is going really slow now. I would say its going to take me another month or so at this rate.
