Eureka! Some overlap! See above. This kit and aircraft are amazing!! Thank you!

Again you are welcome. That first book you got I got that one used at a model show it was missing the decals but still a great book.

Mister you are one building machine!! Watching............

Bruce, you have greater intestinal fortitude that I by building this kit (being limited run) However, I feel that you will do this justice. I do enjoy a 190 build. How far do you plan to go in detailing this plane?

Joe, Thanks so much for following. This means a lot to me. I am always following your projects and gleaning insights into pretty much everything. So, yeah!

Paul, Thanks so much for your thoughts, because what you wrote ties into a theme for this build—to try to build out of the box. However, I do want to add any visible brake lines. I also think the wing weapons will be better suited as brass. Ditto the antennas. So, I already strayed off target. Also each time John Kim builds a Revi gunsight I get excited to build one in the same fashion. Maybe my theme is slipping even farther away from me, lol.

Project Details So Far - 1/31/19

• 1. Rivets, rivets, rivets on exterior surfaces.
  2. Hub and Propeller - EagleCal or Henri Dehane.
  3. National Insignia masks.
  4. Accurate camouflage.
  5. Cabling, wiring and brake lines.
  6. Revi gunsight a la Maestro Kim.
  7. Most important—finish it.

I know you could build this kit, too, Paul. Who needs locating pins... I cut these off anyway most of the time.

It looks like the moldings are accurate to the shape. I'm interested in about the gun sight you mentioned.

Nice work! I wish I had a warehouse to build all those 1/32nd models...

Kit resin part



Looks a lot like the Revi C type of gunsight to me. Squared off glass. My guess is this should be the Revi 16B gunsight for the A-1 Series.

Revi 16B




B/W Fw 190 A-1



Unfortunately the original b/w photo crops at the padded bar, but the written description definitely states that is the 16B. Any ideas which is correct? B or C?

Thanks, Gary. I know what you mean—I live in a small apartment, which means I have to keep only a few new, unbuilt kits as well as completed models.
