Did ICM include another nose section?... or is the same gun nose which is in all "B" boxings more than a bit short.
How sure are we about this?

The only cockpit picture I've found of a Bf 109D is of the instrument panel. I've got some pictures of a Bf 109A cockpit. Were the cockpits pretty much the same or are there any major differences?
Was/am working on a D-1 myself, afaik the D was closer to the E, as in it had the E fuse box on the right, and a map holder, not at the pc, but try to find pics in the morning.

I am sure that the other cover helicopter is a Chinook, not a Sea King.
Like I said, nowhere near an expert....😉

So any aftermarket in the pipeline?
Or will we have to mix'n match from current sets (which would need some serious expertise)

Side quest...does anybody make 1/48 40ft containers?
THAT pic of the Atlantic Conveyor needs to be done.....
The upper left corner would be nice, 2 SHARS, a Wessex and Sea King?

A gun gas deflector should help stabilising the aircrafts trajectory by counteracting the off center recoil effects.
In this case pushing the nose up sightly, while the low mounted gun recoil produces a nosedown momentum
Like muzzle brakes or compensators (showing off my non existent gun knowledge)

So between us non- experts, we know just enough to nudge....😉

The metallic blue green is a corrosion protection paint called aotake, it's semi translucent.
No expert, but you'd find it on interior stuff like wheel wells, not sure about the actual cockpit.

an evening scouring pictures shows that allowing for angles etc, the kit is right, I can sleep again.

only thing with Eduard is the too long landing gear, apparently they used an example without an engine, making it sit high.

How is the Harleyford book " Focke Wulf 190 - the Story of a Famous Fighter" by Heinz Nowarra rated?
it is a older book, (1965 according to scalemates)
nice fleamarket find, but would not buy new

more pics of stuff getting out of hand........
Thinned the edges of the shell shutes
added some sheet to fill the hole at the front of the wing.
The gun bay inserts will be repurposed as chute parts/interest (will be mounted upside down)
ribbing, which wil be only juuuuuust visible with an aileron in.....🤷♂️
The fuselage edges are thick enough to make a groove for the canopy, which means filling the groove on the rear deck.
fitted the gun cowl, did some damage to the edges on purpose and dimpled the metal here and there. No great effort was made for a perfect fit, as this was opened and closed quite a lot.(even bent up one of the corners!)

anybody have the dimensions for this?
I cant's seem to reconcile the shell dimensions with the opening in the Eduard D-9 wings.
Length:81.1mm comes out to 1.7mm
Diameter 25.2 comes out to 0.52mm
I understand the chute needs to be oversize to ensure the shells leave the aircraft and do not cause a stoppage.
the hole in the wing is 6mm in length!
the narrow part (without the link chute) is 1.4mm
the insert from the kit has the inner part of the chute at L:3mm W:0.9mm.
overthinking as usual, but stuff catches my eye........🤷♂️

Remove plastic behind panels leaving just a ledge.
use a drill and sharp blade, start in the middle.
Once the hole is large enough, use a file
Drill shell chute and open following shape.
Again drill and carve, use a sharp blade
Thin edges as far as you dare..
Use a curved edge blade, with the point in the opening, work slowly and carefully

Was thinking of the same pic, it is actually from one of the manuals.
