Eduard 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw190A-6

Post by BlackSheep214 »

With my P-51D Mustang pair sidelined due to very cold weather and temps in garage too cold to.use rattle can, I decided to jump on this little Butcher bird. Thank god, it's not a ProfiPak Edition :nono:

It does come with color PE fret and I will be using some of it - mainly in the cockpit. They're too gorgeous not to use them. :wink:

Cool. I had that kit. Think I shipped it off to Brandon a few years ago.

When I opened the box today, I discovered a print out of an email by Torbin with pointers on building this kit. Thank you again, Torbin. Definitely will pay attention to your advices.

Good luck!

Thanks, Lyle. Hopefully, I'll have better luck with this one than the P-51 Mustang.

Cockpit is done. Only so much I can do using color PE. I skipped over the really, really tiny... and I mean really tiny levers to instrument panel. Seatbelts are a fun to do if you go slow.

How tiny were the levers? See for yourself...
Yup, you'll go blind and end up either losing them or getting them stuck on fat fingers with CA glue

Yep - some very small parts there Tom. Cockpit looks good.

I do most of the time. Sometimes Eduard goes a little overboard including tiny levers, bits, and knows. A huge overkill in my opinion.

I can see doing it on a larger scale aircraft.
