Thunderbolt got a reaction from Juggernut in Laminar Flow Design - New Fw190D-11/D-13 Conversion?
Nicely researched. The photos of white 57 probably corroborate your theory best.

This is first rate work! Where's the WIP?!

Thunderbolt got a reaction from Thunnus in Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190D-9 Late "Brown 4"
Question: what diameter rod/wire did you use for the small straight aerial that is aft of the DF loop? is it the same diameter as the wire used under the port wing?

Thunderbolt got a reaction from nmayhew in Hasegawa Fw 190D-9 "Blue 12" WNr. 500570
Looking back over this kit, I noticed the tail bends to port by about 15 degrees. It looks terrible!
It's impossible to see in the previously posted photos, but such a defect would doom this model in a contest.
The port side of the fuselage warped when I was dremeling the inner sidewall to accommodate the eagle parts cockpit. The warping widened the front of the fuselage by about 2 mm at an oblique angle, screwing with the wing fuselage join and orienting the whole fuselage/tail about 15 degrees to port.
I may kitbash another 190D and completely rebuild the fuselage. This would require complete removal of the fuselage, engine, etc. Nightmarish task, but I reckon if I'm going to finish this project started in 2008, I might as well do it correctly...

Thunderbolt got a reaction from Rick Griewski in spraying white insignia
I do insignia first. Tamiya fine white primer thinned heavily from the small square jar. Then mask and apply rest

Thunderbolt got a reaction from D.B. Andrus in JV 44 "Papagei Staffel"
Here is another image of the same a/c. I'm not sure of my source. Seems to show the presence of a wing root fairing in some way, but no protruding cannon for sure.

Thunderbolt got a reaction from scvrobeson in H&S Infinity Question
I figured. The airflow has to be proportional around the nozzle tip itself. I went ahead and bought a needle/nozzle/aircap set.
thanks all

Have a look here. I believe the Needle, Nozzle, and Air Cap need to all match.
Harder and Steenbeck parts for Infinity (spraygunner.com)
(I've no connection to SG, but I have purchased there.)
