Unfortunately YES. 😠 He and I had some "disagreements" which was a contributing factor to my leaving there. I hate to say it but the decals are very good. Can't say the same about that guy.

Hopefully you won't have that problem when you build yours Gaz. I hated to bin it but, as Peter says, life is too short, etc. 🤪

I figure the Dora will have the same problem but, as they say, fore warned is fore armed. I built a Dora a while back but I don't remember having that problem (but I've slept since then! LOL).

Since the 190A-7/8 build has crashed and burned I plan to build a companion kit, the 190D-9. Most of the parts are interchangeable so I haven't lost a good bit of the work done on the A. This is the one I plan on doing. A very good reference and I have the decals and paint colors on hand.

It was just the wings to fuselage join Gaz. I had attached the upper wings to the lower wing section before attempting to attach the whole shebang to the fuselage. That is where the problems arose. It might work better by attaching the underwing section to the fuselage first before attaching the uppers. Just a guess but, if you build one, give it a try using tape to hold things in place. 🙄

I hate to say it but this one has gone to the bin. 🤪Way too many headaches attaching the wings so just decided to say to heck with it. Not worth the time and trouble, etc. SO......I have a Hasegawa D-9 I can use a lot of the D-7/8 parts on plus beaucoup D-9 decals so that's what I plan to do. Fingers crossed I won't have the same wing/fuselage attachment headache! Stay tuned for a D-9 build thread!

And waiting and waiting! I too have the old Revell kit that I built years ago. Somewhere around here! 🙄

Thanks Phil! Very much appreciated.

A couple of months would sound like a workable plan. If no one has "bit" then why keep 'em any longer.

Looking really good Peter! The wings look like they are "just right". I had good luck on my build as the wings fit without and hassles.

🤪 I like to keep SOMETHING on the bench to stay busy with.

LOL Gaz. A little out of my usual builds I guess plus I just ordered a Hasegawa Ki-43 Oscar from SB so THAT one is definitely out of my usual builds. The 190 kit is a A-8 actually but with a couple of small "adjustments" it'll be a A-7.

LOL Kevin. I've had the 190 and the TD set for a good while. About time for me to build it!

Thanks. I figure that cockpit tub will stay put now. 🤞

LOL I just wish I had something to mark SOLD. I've posted those F4U Corsair decals twice with nary a nibble.

The True Details cockpit tub is CA'd in place. I hope it will stay put! Remember if you will click on the photos they will display clearer and you can view them as a slide show. (This holds true for all builds, etc as far as I know.)

Thank you Gaz! I'm glad you like it.

Thanks Carl. I'll do that for ya.Here ya go.

When I started to do this build I was intending to do a A-8. Never thought to change the title as, to me, it's a minor thing.

Thanks. The decals performed very well I'm glad to say. Some times that's just not the case! 🤪

It say's A-7 in the book.

Thank you Hubert!!! I appreciate that.

Good info here Martin. Vol. 2 has lots more.

This kit has been on my shelf for a good while so now is a good time to build it. It will go well with the Bf-109 I just completed as it's from the same Gruppe, etc.

The wing panels did fit well on mine although I had to use a little plastic putty along a couple of seams. Not a big deal.
