Thunnus Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Welcome back to the hobby! There are many of us that have returned to modeling after an absence and it is always interesting to see products that were not available back then. Our eyesight may be waning but we've got more patience now, haven't we? Enjoying the Revell Fw190 build... might be doing one of these in the future!

Guest Vincent Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 (edited) beware your first picture shows electricaly operated MG131 (13mm) and your second picture shows pneumatically operated MG17 (7,92mm). So not at all the same version of FW-190 Edited April 22, 2019 by Vincent/MDC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So not at all the same version of FW-190 Yup, pretty sure it's the first one, I need, which should be reversed on the off side, as far as I can tell. I'm just wondering if I can pack that much wire into the frame without stressing something else, like my brain Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow_06 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Or is it the second one... Help me out here, a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbow_06 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Okay, so it's the second one ? Which will be a lot easier to do, with a lot less wiring involved lol !! BiggTim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCanopy Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Quote Or is it the second one... Help me out here, a little It's definitvely the first one. The second one is from earlier variants (up to A5 or A6, I think) with the straight gun cowling instead of the blown one represented in your kit. The most visible difference seems to be the shape of the ammo-feeders. Cheers Joerg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vincent Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 if you are doing a f8, it's the mg131, so the first pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanG Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Looking great so far. Giving me loads of ideas for my kit. I also love the SG2 aircraft colour schemes. I did a Hasegawa F8 years ago in 'Red 2' scheme Longbow_06 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a Hasegawa F8 years ago in 'Red 2' scheme I looked at about 50 schemes, but was sure I wanted a late aircraft, universal wing, and bubble canopy. Its a really nice kit, so far, but can really benefit from some upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
