Gazzas Posted March 22, 2021 Author Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thank you, Womble... and everyone else for the likes! Today I fell prey to my own assumptions made at the beginning of the build. But before I get to that a pic or two. Yes, I got the legs, wheels, guns an pitot on. When I built the PCM Ta 152C over a year ago, the LG just went into place like nobody's business. Today it was quite a struggle to get the geometry right. Things look wonky to my eyes, but at least both wingtips are 52mm from the deck. To make things worse, I damaged the paint job near the starboard MG FF and near the port aileron. I wear a glove on the 'holding' hand, and must have gotten a bit of CA on it. CA only seems to stick to paint well when you don't want it too. I compared the LG geometry of the PCM TA to the FW. I also did some scuffing and sponge chipping. But I thought it was too much so I sanded it back a bit. Can;t even see it now.

Dpgsbody55 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Great looking model there, Gazzas. Your painting and attention to detail is wonderful. So nice to see a 190 which isn't grey, grey and more grey. Cheers, Michael Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also blame the profile artists who have churned out so many grey profiles. As far as I'm concerned, the Fw's were painted with the same paints as the 109's and everything else. But finding a FW not in the factory scheme was a great opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
