Bomber_County Posted January 2, 2021 Posted January 2, 2021 Pit done, great doing Harv, those belts are fiddly, the 51 ones are metal so I find them a little more forgiving...... 1 1
BlrwestSiR Posted January 5, 2021 Posted January 5, 2021 Great cockpit and nice milestone! Time for paint. Carl 3

Expand Wasn’t the 190 A puttied at least on the wings and doesn’t the 190 A have countersunk rivets? I don’t know exactly the answers but this would be the criteria for me to decide wether to use them or not. Or is this just a riveting-template? Cheers Kai 3
harv Posted January 5, 2021 Author Posted January 5, 2021 These are slightly raised rivets. Slide decals. Dont have an answer about the real aircraft.... Harv 2

Harv Expand I have these for a Bf-109 G6 too and probably won’t use them. The fotos of the real aircraft you posted seem to show that it has no raised rivets because of the smooth surface. Gaz is also building a 190 A and has posted a picture in his post here on the website where you only see panellines where access panels are located. He has also build puttied 1/48 scale warbirds which really look absolutely convincing to me. Maybe Gaz or someone out of the community can help? Here‘s a photo Gaz posted: 3 2
harv Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 Hmmm I need to rethink this. Thanks for the info....harv 2
harv Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 I spent some time looking a WWII photos of 190,s, and came to the conclusion that there are no rivot detail of the 1to1. So I'll forgo the river decals....harv 2

harv Posted January 6, 2021 Author Posted January 6, 2021 The only thing is in scale you would have to be 3 in from the model, lol.....harv 1
GazzaS Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 On 1/6/2021 at 5:59 PM, Wumm said: It depends on how close you get. S Expand You really can't compare an early war A with a late war A-8, F, or G. Early in the war, they were puttied and polished so much that the camouflage is very, very wasted away and often you can detect the puttying underneath. But later in the war... we're talking mid-late 44 and after, they quit doing this according to Willy Reschke in his book. They were simply losing planes too quickly to bother. There are other qualitative things to consider in late war 190 production. Slave labor, and the need to pump out aircraft more quickly as demanded by the Emergency Fighter Program are just two concerns. HTH, Gaz 3 2
harv Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 This particular aircraft is Fall of 43. So I think I'm good.....harv 3
Jeff Posted January 7, 2021 Posted January 7, 2021 Interesting build, Harv, and I am learning a fair bit here......................looking forward to the next 'episode'.............. 2 1
harv Posted January 7, 2021 Author Posted January 7, 2021 Thanks Jeff. Gluing the wing halves right now......harv 2
harv Posted January 8, 2021 Author Posted January 8, 2021 Wing halves are glued but not to body. The wing assembly actually snaps into place, no gaps !.....harv 7
harv Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 Tail feathers on, rear deck is in. Working on cowling......harv 7
BlrwestSiR Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Nice progress Harv. Looks like the wing roots have a nice fit to the fuselage too. Carl 2
harv Posted January 9, 2021 Author Posted January 9, 2021 Snap in fit. Excellent. There is a gap on the bottom where wing assembly meets the rear fuselage.....harv 2
