chrish Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) This will probably be out of the box with no "improvements" (aftermarket upgrades)I don't have an F-8 in my collection and a group build is a good reason to hopefully finally build and finish it. Oddly, the kit comes with a quite nice stand to display in flight...but no pilot! If I had a pilot figure it'd be in flight but for now, it'll be on it's wheels This may be a boring project for many folks. The box and work so far; Now to start gluing and painting...

BradG Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Can never get enough 190's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrish Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 Thanks for the encouragement Some progress made on the 190 I'll admit right off the top, I installed the wrong cowl gun cover in my misdirected concentration of getting a good tight fit of that cowl, resulting in some fancy razor saw work and remedial repairs. wrong top cover sawed off and correct one fitted...really gotta read those darned instructions!
