FW-190A-8 Sturmbock in progress

Well, just wanted to share some pics of my 1/48 Tamiya FW-190A-8/R8 "Rauhbautz". The fuselage and wings glued together. I've made some modifications to the kit:

1. Replaced armour plates around the pilot's place on the fuselage.
2. Antena mast on the fin tip was scratchbuilt - Tamiya or a shop managed to break the parts while transporting - just antenna fin tip was broken.
3. Oleos one the wheel legs were replaced with aluminium tubing.
4. Original Tamiya's drop tank was replaced with Eduard's (THANX TO JESPER!!) - and some minor scratchbuilding involved.
5. I'm in the begining of rivetting process... ;/

Anyway, here're some pics of the mentioned parts:
