Bit of a difference between those two IPs. Best i invest in an AM replacement. Thanks for the suggestions gents. One or two problems. Our postal system has collapsed. To courier AM will raise the cost to the same as that of the kit ! The Eduard and Yahu IP's are made from photo etch which is fine for a/c like the Mustang or in 1/48 but the Fw 190 IP is more 3D. I will give it some thought while I do the rest of the kit. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I decided too try and fit the Hasegawa IP. Dials drilled out and filled. I will make a copy tomorrow. The subject I want to do has propeller weights fitted. In the mean time, while waiting for the glue of the IP to dry I designed propeller weights on Tinkercad and printed them. I could only find a fuzzy picture and used the relative size from the prop blade to get an approx size for the weights.

Cheetah11 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I copied the Hasegawa IP and trimmed it a bit to fit the Revell cockpit Worked surprisingly well. Now just for painting and a bit more detail. Enjoy Nick Edited January 7, 2020 by Cheetah11 BradG, TAG, Azgaron and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazzas Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 The FW Really cheats ya when it comes to showing your IP once the kit is finished... unfortunately. But keep up the great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But keep up the great work! Hi Gazzas Yep, not much will be seen after the cockpit is in the fuselage, but I have an ulterior motive. I have 4 Hasegawa kits in the stash and can now use instrument decals for them as well. I also need to practice for my 1/24 Trumpeter Fw 190 D as I would need to do as least the IP from scratch.

Cheetah11 Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 IP complete and I added a few extra pieces to the cockpit. I also added ribs in the wheel well. All the 1/48 models have them. I don’t know how Revell could have left them out. Nick MikeMaben, JefH, TorbenD and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azgaron Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Progressing nicely! Looking forward to paint in the cockpit! Håkan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
