duke_ Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 hello again! i know i have so many projects unfinished, but i couldn't resist starting this one also.. i have some extras for this build from eagle parts , flaps from eduard rivet set from HGW (ok the next 190D will be riveted by hand.. i promise, at least i' ll try..) resin wheels , HGW seatbelts i am going for this one , so, starting with the cockpit area, there is no much to say than hasn't already been said about the eagle parts cockpit yes, is a gem.. it requires some testing for correct placement and plastic parts modification but is totally worth it here after some painting and weathering . .

Sturmbock Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The hand painted cockpit looks way better than any 3D decal in my opinion. I think it's great! Lutz duke_ and Jeff T 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunnus Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Looks great Duke! With the exception of the center IP panel, the Eagle Editions 190A cockpit looks identical to the D-9 cockpit! duke_ and IainM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The D-9 or at least most D-9's, were not outfitted with that center panel. I believe it houses the bomb release mechanism for ground attack duty. The flaps look great! duke_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
