Tamiya 1/48 Fw190 A3
I started on this one, with the intent of having it done before January 1. It's the motorized version and came with a plastic base which is supposed to hide the battery and switch but after starting I thought it would be more fun to run the wires to a German style battery cart, which I thought I had. Nope, only British, but Sprue Brothers is saving me on that score as Tamiya makes a Kettenkraftrad/battery cart set. I thrashed around until I found a picture of a 190 hooked to a start cart so I would know where to bring the wires out, but I needn't have bothered because the Tamiya box art for the set mentioned has the cart hooked to a 190. I am putting the pilot in, and I painted the instrument panel which looked pretty good, but of course it is so far under the glare shield no one will ever see my "fine" work.

Looking good John. Motorized kits are always fun!

Interesting John, any pics of the internals, how the electrical engine is (was) attached ?

This should be a fun one! The battery cart is way cooler than some base!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Very cool concept for a motorized prop… the battery in a power cart, just like in real life!"Surely I have made my meaning plain? I intend to avenge myself upon you, Admiral. I have deprived your ship of power, and when I swing 'round, I intend to deprive you of your life."
