For Sale - FW 190 A4 rebuild project with Sierra retracts

Rebuild project to suit Saito FG 84-R3 or FG90-R3.
Built to Brian Taylor’s plans scaled up by 50%, so same size as Vailly FW..
Spun in on third flight due to defective flap servo, but flew beautifully up to that point.
With the Saito 90 installed no additional nose weight was needed.
Comes as photos, with scaled up plans, spare canopy, and Sierra pneumatic main and tailwheel retracts and wheels.
You will need to finish the fuselage, repair the starboard wing, and build a new port wing.
The rear part of the fuselage, tailplane and rudder were not damaged.

I was getting on well with the rebuild, until a TopFlite FW 190, which is slightly smaller, came my way.

The cowl is fine and repaired. The fuselage is now largely complete, and ready for a Saito 84 or 90 to drop straight in. The main element remaining is to build one new wing.
