Last pic for the night...I'll re-work the top deck above the instrument panel and dry fit the gun sight (several times this time) to make sure all is well.Just a small chunk of plastic rod and the cockpit coaming will be completed.I do have a Cutting Edge seat but from what I was able to do with the kit item I'm happy...

I had started this build (slowly as usual) about two or three weeks before PCM announced their new 1/32 190 A-1/2/3 but I have to see this one through.Here's the rudder tip completed after being shaped with the help of some Mr.Surfacer 500...

This is what the rudder tip started out looking like...

Hey, Dave! Long time, no see! :)

 

This build looks great! Just a couple questions:

 

1. For the rivets, did you use a guide for spacing, or freehand them?

 

2. Do I spy a Ta-152 on your bench?

 

I'll be doing an A-3 and A-4 "the hard way", by using the Montex conversions. Going to use the PCM kit for my A-1 and A-2 (Thanks for taking the plunge, by the way!). ;)

 

:speak_cool:
