harv Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 Last piece of the puzzle as far as the cowling wing area. Looks like a birthcontrol device ! One side is good, the other, not so much....harv 4 1

Rowdy Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Very hard kit to build Harv so far I see since I follow this one! But your work will pay off! Respect for your effort! 5 1
AlanG Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 The good thing about modelling Fw190s (short noses) is that in real life the cowls and upper gun covers weren't always a flush fitting. Especially if they had replacement parts fitted. 4 2
BlrwestSiR Posted January 22, 2021 Posted January 22, 2021 Seems a decent fit with your tweaks Harv. Like I said, Hasegawa kits have given me fits over the years. 4
harv Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 I think this was the most challenging part of the build. Everything else went rather well. The probs with the pit was all my own doing. The wing fit was almost perfect. The fuselage was not bad at all....harv 4
harv Posted January 22, 2021 Author Posted January 22, 2021 Well I've gone as far as I can on this one. Have to wait for warmer weather to do any AB work. So, looking for a different project.......harv 7

Good to learn that the fit of the rest was nice. Looking forward to seeing it painted soon (when the weather allows it)! What will be your meantime project? 4 1
Wumm Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 Hasegawa's A-5 kit utilises the wing parts from their earlier D-9 release; much like the real aircraft, only of course in reverse order. As such, specific parts needed to be generated for the short nose variants, and again like the actual aircraft are not precise in their fitment (as others have mentioned in earlier posts in this thread.)

I should have been more specific in the above post. After taping all of the wing parts together, and ensuring that everything is in place and the cowl parts fit; then follow the kit's instruction sequence, except for assembling the cowl parts around the already completed lower wing and fuselage parts.

harv Posted August 1, 2021 Author Posted August 1, 2021 Really ? This long ago ? I finally sat back at the bench. I checked it over and realized I hadn't filled the gap at rear of wing assembly. So here it is. Waiting for glue to do its work. Cheers....harv 6
Bomber_County Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Harv……..is that really you………really………really you…………great to see you back……….😝………the build is looking great as well….. 2 2
Kaireckstadt Posted August 1, 2021 Posted August 1, 2021 Great to see you back on the bench Harv! Was long awaited! 👍 And what do you start with: surgery! Well done! Looking pretty good! Will you continue now regularly? Would be great to see more of your work soon! 2 1
harv Posted August 1, 2021 Author Posted August 1, 2021 I'm gonna try Kai. Want to get things done befor the Wessex....harv 3
harv Posted August 3, 2021 Author Posted August 3, 2021 Had a few bad spots I noticed, so slapped on some filler and did some sanding today. Still have some on the nose to do....harv 3
BlrwestSiR Posted August 3, 2021 Posted August 3, 2021 Harv, if that's your idea of slapping on filler, can you come to our house and do some tuck pointing? I've got some cracks in our brick that need filling. Your "slapping on" is neater than my precision application. Oh and glad to see you back at the bench. Carl 1 1
harv Posted August 5, 2021 Author Posted August 5, 2021 Well damn, kinda got the wind nocked out of my sails. The tail planes are not even ! Any advice ?......harv 1
harv Posted August 5, 2021 Author Posted August 5, 2021 Ok, got it sorted. I ended up scoring the join seam till it was loose. Then replied and taped up till dry....harv 6
