smotti Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 I will go to make the version of 11/IV/JG3 flown by Will Maximovitz in June of 1944. My first step was the rank of the fuselage side armor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
francky Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hello Smotti, good choice....just be extra carefull when you assemble the cowling with the fuselage,because the cowling is wider than the the fuselage,and there is nasty step to fill,but beside that a great kit to built. Have fun with it,all the best FRANCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi Sandro, nice subject there! I don´t know if you already know about the fit of the engine cowl, but before you glue the fuselage together, put together the engine cowl and see how it fits to the fuselage! It is maybe needed to spread the forward fuselage a bit. Hope you know what i mean. Cheers, Chris Later Edit Ah, Francky was faster then me...

Dave Pratt Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Hi Sandro, Great subject you've chosen and I'm just putting the wraps on my A-8 (pics will be posted when it's done...I hope) and like the other gents mentioned you may want to shim the fuselage open a bit wider.My sugjestion would be to complete the cowling/engine section then dry-fit the fuselage to the engine section and you'll know exactly what we are talking about.Other than that problem it's a great kit and you can't go wrong.I'm looking forward to your build...cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smotti Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 Friends, I mounted one Fw190F-8 and I really had many problems with cowl. I will study the case to find a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smotti Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 progress... After to add to some details and the seatbelt, I made a wash with a mixture of Raw Amber and Burnt Siena and applied a hand of Testors Dullcote. I will now start the assembly of the panel in PE Eduard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smotti Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 progress... I was not very worried about the details of the engine therefore in the Fw190 it practically does not appear and I only added some wires... I painted with Testors Stainless Steel and Aluminum Plate, Tamiya Neutral Grey and Nato Black and made a wash with a mixture of Raw Amber and Burnt Siena and a drybrush with Titanium White. Finally I applied a layer of Testors Dullcote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
