1/32 FW-190C V18 (Revell & Planet Models conversion)

[Thunderbolt]

Nice work and analysis so far. I commend you for pushing your technical limits. 
 

The conversion kit is very nice with the exception of the spinner which is markedly incorrect in size and shape. I was thinking about modifying a P-51 spinner (shortening it, drilling a central recessed hole, etc)...

 

Also considering using a spitfire prop as a base as well. The D-9 spinner actually doesn’t come that close and using one would introduce the extra work of modding a three blade spinner to a four blade

Was this project finished or what?

This conversion did not play nice with me.  Fuselage was warped, prop blades too spindly.  Yadda, Yadda, Yadda.

 

I used the Hasegawa kit, interesting to see how the Revell kit works for you.  I did lot of work on this, almost ready to begin paint.  Currently on my SOD. 

 

Good luck.  I will be watching.
