I dedicate it to Fukuda.
Fukuda Kazu was the modeler who left many splendid models.
He was a member of the Osaka solid model club "SAIUNKAI".
Unfortunately he died in 2009.
On behalf of him, I show how to make FW190-D9.

Kenji, thank you for presenting the work of Fukuda on this board. I found him through the Osaka Model Club and have spent much time studying his work. More specifically, I am working to duplicate his skill at painting markings.
I also really enjoy the work of Nishino, truly a master craftsman. His mosaic models are excellent works of both art and craftsmanship, a rare combination.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the wood Kenji mentions is native to Japan and plentiful. It is widely used there for solid models. In western culture, it is known as magnolia, a wood I have never tried or heard of anyone outside of Japan using, but am interested in finding some to try.

Absolutely amazing Kenji. But could you please tell us what scale the FW190 is.
Cliff.
ken,
It is the kind that is near to Magnolia.

This wood is common in Japan. It is used for materials of the work of children.
Cliff,
I'm sorry.Scale is 1/50.
kenji.
The study of this Focke Wulf model and the work put into recording the detailed build is very much appreciated this end,this places solids into a whole new area of sophistication unknown to many westerners,a true labour of love.
Kenji I know that I have said this before but we are indebted to being able to share with you your vast knowledge of our type of model,thank you.
Barry.
ken,
The thread of the mosaic model was set up. Please see.
