Revells FW 190 A-8 1/32
« on: March 17, 2025, 03:33:21 AM »
Okay so this one took few years to get built but it is finally finished . The Eduard resin engine set for this kit is designed to have the cowl panels open in the close position there are big gaps between the panels . Major thinning if the parts are need and the includes to part of the wheel well to get the engine and mount to sit far back enough . The wing root guns also had a lot of plastic removed . Some areas are paper thin . Basically must of the time spend was sanding , scraping , swearing . A fare bits and bobs got added to the engine bay with the pumping and hydraulic lines etc etc . In the end it tuned out not to shabby at all .

Thanks Rick ,

This is my second time building this kit , first one was out of the box with the addition of added seatbelts . I still have another on in the stash but will not be putting this much detail or work into it .
