We might have to wait on the after market guys for that one. That looks like a profile from that Classic Publications book on Fw 190's serving in North Africa.

I had a look... and no, they aren't in the kit. The 'cheek' pieces are wholly separate from the rest of the cowl, so I don't imagine that it would take the 3d printing guys long to make them.

Gazzas Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 There are some interesting engineering choices. I kind of wish I hadn't recently finished a 190... or I'd be all over this one. Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for that Gaz, I noticed from a sprue shot they were separate parts, then started to wonder... Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Eagle Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 (edited) Someone made the trop filters. I used a set some time ago, but I forget who made them- maybe Grey Matters Edited October 15, 2023 by Steve Eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zola25 Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 (edited) My local hobby store suddenly had one yesterday so I ordered it and it turned up today. It looks like a very typical kit from ZM at first glance. Very nicely detailed. I have built a handful of the Hasegawa kits, which I really like, and I noticed right away that the canopy of the ZM kit seems much narrower.. is the Hasegawa kit the wrong shape or..? /Niels $139 including shipping Edited November 21, 2023 by Zola25 Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could it be that the kit has 2 canopies, and the one you're looking at is the "open" version, which will be pinched in at the front?
