One-Oh-Four Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 Good start, Dave. I have an F-8 I need to get back to. Crusaders are out of bounds for this GB! Hmmmmm, maybe instead of being smart-ass I should be working on MY Fw 190A?.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 A couple areas that might need attention if you're interested: If it is not too late, the gap in the cockpit coaming should be taken care of, the padding goes all the way around, there is no gap for the sight as the kit provides. You need to fill the join in the wingroot, there are only a couple spots where the line should be there. For example, the gun bay cover in the middle is a single part that goes all the way to the top of the wingroot fairing. A quick look at just about any set of plans should help here. Doug Here is a photo from my own 109A-6 WIP that might help illustrate the wing root panels that should have the join line filled in: Looking forward to more progress!

Dave J Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Cheers Doug! I started filling in those areas the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave J Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share Posted April 10, 2014 Thanks Greg! I should be able to get some time on this over the weekend! And... Welcome to LSM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 Thanks for the kind welcome... You will find I'm a bit of an FW 190 nut...I used to build quite a bit, but I guess I've let life get in the way. I want back in and am vigorously scouring the forums for inspiration and tips. Going to start a model here soon. I bet you can guess which German WWII non-Messerschmitt fighter I'll be doing! Great stuff...love seeing the foundational work. It is--and always has been--the canvas for the eventual paint job! Thanks again! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 One quick fact check: As far as I know, the "dust covers" depicted on the wheel well MG151's did not exist, at least not on the later 190's. This, and the gunsight placement, are two errors in the Hasegawa 190 kit. I only bring it up in the hopes that they are only dry-fitted at this point. REALLY looking forward to this build!!!
