Gerhard Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Guys, will the Aires Resin Gun bay for the 1/32 FW 190F-8 fit the FW 190A-8? Revellhttps://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AIRE2206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyracer Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Should do no problem. The A8 is the same kit as the F8 bar a couple of extra/swapped pieces. You could build an A from the F boxing no problem. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Thanks, I have the A, but all the after market is mostly for the F version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacingMonk Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 As far as I know the F-8 is identical to the A-8 minus the outer wing MG151s (plus different radios and things). Rick Griewski 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerhard Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is the one I have. I want to use the resin gun bay above in the A8 fighter version. That is my question, Can the F8 gun bay be used in the A8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBrown Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 This is the one I have. I want to use the resin gun bay above in the A8 fighter version. That is my question, Can the F8 gun bay be used in the A8? Yes. The inboard guns are identical on the real A-8 and F-8. LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wackyracer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Not with what's in the box you can't. The F-8 kit has the wing minus the outboard cannons. Unless you found an A-8/A-9 without them, you can't do one directly from the box contents. Or you could get the A night fighter and leave off the dangly bits. Do you mean these bulges on the outer section? These are in the F kit but greyed out? This build is the F version. I just drilled the holes and add the pieces? Sorry if I confused the matter?

RBrown Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The bulges are on the lower wing surface... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Bellis Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Do you mean these bulges on the outer section? These are in the F kit but greyed out? This build is the F version. I just drilled the holes and add the pieces? Sorry if I confused the matter? Not the topside outer bulges/covers (which were also found on some F-8s, even though they didn't have the outer cannons). The one-piece lower wing part in the Revell kits is different between the F-8 and A-8 boxings. The F-8 kit has flat covers over the outer cannon bay, the A-8 kit has the required bulge and ejector chutes molded into it. The F-8 part: And, the A-8 kit part: Thus, it is not possible to build a proper A-8 from the F-8 kit. HTH, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wackyracer Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Got it. Thanks. No worries my bad. I'd just read on some reviews it was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monthebiff Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 The Aires F-8 gun bays are really nice but a complete PITA to get fitted but really, really cool when fitted and painted. Have fun with them. Regards. Andy Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
