Playing in the Sandbox Group Build Sept 1, 2024 - Jn 1, 2025

Old mold Revell FW-190F8 next


Recommended Posts

Adding the instrument panels was a tedious process, especially the top panel. Thanks to strip styrene and CA everything is installed. I just hope they STAY there.🤪

Nice progress and I'm right with Kev. Not sure if taping the wingtips to each other will both remove the wing fillet gap and increase the dihedral which seems to be too shallow or just strip plastic is the remedy. I guess it all depends how the dihedral actually looks to you, as I'm only guessing from the overhead photo.

In any case, my money is riding on you to work right though the issue at hand.

I see some more styrene  in your future.I am sure you will get there John;)

I put in some styrene strips last night so this morning I'll trim the excess and see what else is needed.

I'll go see how well my "adjustments" have helped and post a couple more pics. 🙄

After trimming the strip plastic I decided to try to get a bit more dihedral. I'll let it sit for a while then go back and see how it looks now. No Peter, the cowl ring is from the kit.

Nice work on the wings, fillet seams and getting the dihedral to look good. Not hard to believe you have the Old Revell FW 190 ready for the paint shop.

When I started this build I had no idea what problems with fit there would be. If I'd known it would likely still be on the shelf! LOL It appears at this point it will turn out okay but I'm not counting my chickens just yet!
