This is my Focke-Wulf 190A .  This is an Aerotech kit who are no longer in business.
Wingspan is 50" and I've fitted a SC 52 four stroke engine.

Maiden flight was good.  I was worried about the weight as I had to put a lot of lead up front to get the C of G correct.

I couldn't find any suitable decals so I made my own using waterslide printed on my inkjet printer. 

Model is covered in brown paper and PVA painted in B & Q match emulusion, then sprayed with acryllic varnish to seal.

Update - I was correct in worrying about the weight.  The model was very twitching on take off but once flying reasonably fast it was OK.  The engine cut on me and it dropped like a stone. Although it was repairable I decided it was never going to be good flyer weighing in at nearly 7lbs. So I scrapped her.  My Xmas present 2009 is a Koyosho FW190 ARTF.  This weight in at 4-5 lbs so it should be much better.
