I've made a bit more progress, Wings on, tail on - I'm just working on the seams.

I'd get metal ones. They look better and won't break.

That's what I'm thinking,. I've actually removed all 4 barrels and have re-drilled the holes.to take them.

I've just picked up two sets of Master metal barrels - they look a lot better than the plastic stubs the kit comes with!
It's a really simple kit, these little 1/72 WWII fighters are great for quick builds - I've just put a few dabs of filler in places, but other than that the seam clean up is easy.Floki wrote:This is going together really quick!

Nice work! Looks like 190, too.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Nice work on that small plane Stuart! Interestingly enough, my very first 1/72 scale plane was a Focke Wulf FW-190. Glad to see you fixing this oversight man!

Beautiful work painting and installing so far! Is this a small gouge from cutting the ring off a sprue or is it something in the photo?
