Next on the bench is my first German 4 engine build. I have done a 3 and a 5 engined subject but not a 4, the Revell 1/72nd Fw 200C-8.
I'll be adding an Eduard Big Ed Pe set for this. And i will be useing Xtradecal Am decals. I got the decal set for the Trump C-3 kit but it included a C-8 which, like the one in the kit thats featured on the box art was used against the Finn's in 1944. But unlike the one in the kit the AM set does not have the wave pattern scheme which i am not ready to do just yet, so i took the easy route.
The kit has quite a nice interiour for the front and rear areas and the eduard set adds quite a bit of extra detail.
The radio compartment won't be seen at all once doen but i put it all in anyway.
I got the fuselage closed up and that went well. Then in my haste i got the wings on before taking pics. The fit is very good and there was not much to clean up on the fuselage seams.
The forward gun position was then fitted along with the horizontal tail surfaces.
And i primed and painted the underside where the gondala will go along with the wheel wells. The Eduard set includes PE flaps. I have been at these for about 2 nights, its a lot of work but worth it. The upper sets are fitted, i still have a bit to do on the lower flaps and will leave those off for painting.
Thats it for now. Going to get the flaps wrapped up then i can finish off the final bits before masking and painting.
