Great looking stuff Peter. I'll order some Luftwaffe wheel chocks from you later today too.
-
I can highly recommend them. I've seen most, if not all, all the released sets, and they are superb.

Cheers Steve
I'll add that to the scraps box then.Jim

Still plodding on with the Hasegawa 190D-9 and I was wondering if the machines operated by JV44 would ever have been fitted with the drop tank. As these machines were primarily used for jet fighter protection, would there have been a need to fit them? Sorry for being so utterly clueless!

Lovely work Chris. We don't see many 'Owls' and the build quality is wonderful.
-
Wow! Those look so good I wanna order some and I don't even have the kit they go on!
You know you want to
I have the Dragon 1/48 Ta 152 etch stuff, but STILL don't have the kit
-
I just ordered a set i couldn't resist ,they look good .
Ditto!

VERY nice Bob.........have I not spent enough already!!
Must get me some. Do your bomb packs fit these?
-
...and here are a few more of the D-9 cockpit I took at the Deutsches Teknik Museum in Berlin. Feel free to use as you wish:

Very nice
Was the kit a good fit? -
I've just had to build a Challenger tank for a commission, and I'll post some new stuff up here as soon as I've motivated myself

Many thanks Charles, that is wonderful. Confirms just what I suspected

A thin smear of petroleum jelly should help. It worked with my CA but still need to try it with the gel stuff.

I'm working on the tail section of my Fw 190D-9 and I've installed scratchbuilt oxygen tanks in the extended fuselage section. The question is what colour were these tanks? I'm thinking they may have been the same blue colour used for the cockpit oxygen related gauges etc. Any help guys? Jim
-
Have to agree. Fitted them to my Dora and they are superb.
-
Is this kit a re-boxing or an original Revell release?
-
But you were doing a wonderful job David. How bad can it be? Love your work so far

Really nice work Matt, did the Hasegawa pit require any trimming to fit, or did it slot straight in?
When I finally get around to building mine, I'm going to use these: http://www.blackdog.cz/products/a32/a32001/1.jpg which might be of interest.
I have a set of these for use on my 190D-9 and I highly recommend them. The casting is very crisp. If it suits, try the tailwheel set too. That set is amazing.

Bloody gorgeous! Not often you see one of those.

Is there any more progress on this model? I'd love a few tips for the nearish future

I spray at about 15psi and about 2 inches from model. I also don't crack the airbrush 'paint' flow fully open. I spray about 1/3 open on my Iwata

Hi all,
I've spent literally days, accumulatively to get to this stage. The cockpit is now almost totally complete and I've added some extra plumbing to the rear fuselage internals...namely for the control linkages I'd missed (but so did Aires!) and for the reserve fuel tank piping. Both loose ends of these pipes for the tank will terminate at the fuel filler cap, now fitted to the fuselage (from the excellent Black Dog resin detail set).
Interior of the cockpit is painted in Gunze RLM66, and detail colours are picked out with a combination of Vallejo, White Ensign and Humbrol paints. Pigments are added to the cockpit interior, but not too much.
I just had to add the set of seatbelts I bought from Radu, and they are great! Many thanks to his work in designing these. They took 3 hours as I have fingers like fag ends (Brit saying!), but I don't think I could use anything else now.
I hope to get everything fit into this fuselage section within the next week or so. Everything dry fits beautifully since I modded loads of parts. I still say this Aires resin set was done for a different tooling of this kit.
Sorry for the bad pic of the panel. It looks great to the eye, but awful on a blown up digital pic. The rest I'm happy with
