Reuben L. Hernandez Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) Very cool work and inspirational work, been wanting to try those HGW transfers maybe on my next build. Also might give Eduard's cockpit a try also. Keep up the great work! Edited September 25, 2017 by Reuben L. Hernandez monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmusky Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Finally bought one, think I'll get the pit too. Starting to come along nicely going to be a beauty when it's all done. Darren monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Wow! I read through the whole post and I'm amazed with you work! Detailing is fantastic! Great job Andy! Thank you spyros, the Revell kit is pretty good buut chopping it around as I have does cause loads of fit issue's along the way........just hope its worth it. Regards.

monthebiff Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 Very cool work and inspirational work, been wanting to dry those HGW transfers maybe on my next build. Also might give Eduard's cockpit a try also. Keep up the great work! Thank you so much Reuben, All of the Eduard sets for this kit are just superb and I would definately recomend them to you, the HGW "wet" transfers are however a completely diffent ball game. They are very very very delicate to deal with and ecpect errors but do look very good under paint. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren Good move Darren, its a really good kit, has some major fit issue's in some area's..........mainly rear wing root to fuselage.......just wing root in in general to be honest and then the rear stabiliser joins need quite a bit of work. Other than that she is a beauty. Regards. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted August 6, 2017 Author Share Posted August 6, 2017 (edited) Back at the bench on the 190 and been getting all of the seams etc which there are lots of, main problem are the aweful wing root joints. Getting pretty close now to masking this thing up for some primer and check for bits and pieces I've missed. Thanks for checking by as ever. Regards.

monthebiff Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) The Eduard resin prop set is pretty good although some very careful cleaning up is required. Also added the single counter balance White 48 seemed to have from plastic stock. All fits like a glove and ready for some colour which everything on this build is after what seems like forever. Thanks for looking in. Regards. Andy Edited June 11, 2022 by monthebiff Gazzas, Victor K2, MikeC and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageEagle Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi Andy, Very clever approach with the counter weights! I thought about how to best create these weights. I first considered 3D printing, but I guess the printing resolution wouldn't be sufficient. So, glad to see how you did it and that it turned out so well. Cheers Roger monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Very cool work. I've been wondering about those weights on Fw 190 props. I've yet to find anything about why they were used. Gaz monthebiff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VintageEagle Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hi Gaz, In my book Captured Eagles I have a page dedicated to these weights including a print of an original wartime drawing of the weight and an explanation why they were used (don't have a copy with me right now, need to check at home). The same weights were also used on other BMW 801 powered aircraft but attached at a slightly different angle.

Cheers Roger Roger, like you I was wondering for quite a while how to deal with this and decided plastic card was the easiest way to go, i will scribe the joint between the two halves once i have some primer on.
