Drift Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) Is this kit any good? Any advice appreciated. Going to build it OOB. Edited November 20, 2017 by Drift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorby Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Seems to get some very good reviews: https://www.scalemates.com/kits/1030649-revell-03926-fw190-a-8-r11-nightfighter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) The Reviews i’ve read gave it pretty high grades. Edited November 15, 2017 by Corsairfoxfouruncle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDriskill Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 The kit shares most of its parts with Revell's earlier FW 190F-8, released a couple of years ago. You should be able to find many reviews and builds of that kit. Here is a nice article from the "Large Scale Planes" forum, comparing the Revell F-8 with its main rival, the early-2000's-vintage Hasegawa kit. Lot of good reference links later in the thread, too: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=56507&page=1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 This is going to be built with it, and then joined on a display base of sorts: Verlinden 516 1/20th FW190A8 Cockpit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDriskill Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 While I haven't personally compared the Revell A and F side-by-side, I'd be very surprised if anything other than smaller variant-specific parts differed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 Hi Guys, will the Aires Resin Gun bay for the 1/32 FW 190F-8 fit the FW 190A-8?https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AIRE2206 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDriskill Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 Again, I don't have both kits, but I'd bet my next paycheck that it fits fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 You just lost your next paycheck. Been told on LSP forum that it's a real PITA to get to fit properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 I recently built the earlier FW190 - F8 version of this kit, and I can say without hesitation that you won't be disappointed with this kit. Fit is very good, and any slight niggles were of my own doing, so enjoy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Point taken...but I understood your question to mean, "are the kit bits with which the detail set interfaces, the same in the F-8 and A-8 kits?" The answer to that is, "yes." Again, I haven't built either kit, and don't own the detail set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
