LSP_K2 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 you going OOB with this Kev? It would have been entirely OOB, but owing to some of my chatter in another thread, our own Brian (Out2gtcha), is graciously sending me a resin '190 seat with molded on belts, my preferred type of item, as far as seats are concerned. I've already ripped out the kit seat in anticipation of installing this new one. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 I don't recall if the cooling louvers on the sides were open or not on the Hasegawa kit, but they certainly are on the Revell kit. A few passes with the Flexi-File belt, should clean it up just great. And they are not. This is the Hasegawa Fw 190A-8 fuselage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Hasegawa wheels are also excellent, but tires are tread-less. Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 You are blasting thru on this build! If I may. The contrast between the seat and seat wrinkles seems high to me. Maybe a once over with a thinned seat color as a softener? '. . . but tires are tread-less.' Is that not right? Thank you.

Out2gtcha Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Looking good so far K2! The seat should be there Monday, so it appears it should drop right in after some paint LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, Mark That seat was never finished being painted, and has been ripped out anyway, in readiness for the new seat. As to the tires, I'm certainly no authority, but I expect that either one may be correct, I just prefer the ones with treads.

LSP_K2 Posted March 18, 2018 Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 More Hasegawa/Revell comparisons. The Hasegawa engine is but a shadow of the Revell example; meaningless to me, as I generally don't display engines anyway, but still,...

LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 New seat arrived today, and looks so much better than the kit seat. Thanks a ton, Brian, I really appreciate this. sandokan, Victor K2, Iain and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Interestingly enough, neither the Hasegawa or Revell kit offer anything in the way of an oxygen regulator for the 'pit. Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looks good Kev! Seat looks like it fits really well LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Looks good Kev! Seat looks like it fits really well It does indeed. It sits a bit low, I think, but I can easily shim that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMaben Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Interestingly enough, neither the Hasegawa or Revell kit offer anything in the way of an oxygen regulator for the 'pit. Odd. Hey Kevin, the oxygen regulator instruments are on the lower right hand side of the IP. Looks like a hose fitting and a gauge and a small handle. http://www.aerocockpit.com/focke-wulf-fw-190-a hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
