    On catalogue No.2771, but scalemates says it's a "new parts", not "new tool". Is it a Smer or Classic Airframes rebixing?

    Whaaaaaaat........a big file...... I built about 20 ITA kits but never come with such a horrible fitting...However ITA's kits quality are descending in recent years, IMO. Several old kits, even with raised panel lines, are a pleasure to build. But when I opened my Reggiane Re.2002........and Ju87........... Macchi 200 is much better comparing the former two, so I bought a 48th scale UH-34. I should chose the MRC though it's moulded by trumpeter.... So what happened to Italeri? After all I'll take another ITA kit...Re.2000 announced on catalog...hope it won't be same quality as 2002...

    Tri-master rebox and earlier A-3/4 were released around early 90s', there was also a Ta152H. Series code 091xx/02xx/JXxx kits. One interesting matter is HAS released 2 JG1's Fw190A-4 with same box art, one with DML wing(DML also released it on their brand) the other is all HAS. So this may why the latter kit's fuselage sprue is X, not A,B,C... That time, DML's mould did not like they looked today. Quite few flash. Hardly wrapped fuselage, I mean DML's C sprue

    These variants all based on JT94 Fw190A-8. A-5 kits have different cowl gun cover/chute parts and MLG bay doors, outer wing gun panels.

    Which mould? HAS Fw190 has several editions. *rebox Tri-master/DML Fw190A-8 *co-operation of DML Fw190A-3/4(wings from DML, fuselage from HAS) *another Fw190A-3/4 with all HAS mould *brand new Fw190A-5/6/7/8 If you build reboxing A-8, it does need some adjust. I never build the "kit-bash" edition, so have no idea. All HAS mould kits fit well on the MLG bay door.

    not a rebox one but a mould "referring" to TAM. It's truly cheap but lacks TAM's fit. Also horribly fragile decals....

    how about Italeri kit with canopy replaced?
  8. fernandocouto
    Not FS colour, but PLAN's J-7H(naval version of new wing J-7IV) is light grey looks like FS36320(or another FS36XXX, cannot remember). There are some more accurate drawing by Chinese authors on the site. For J-7A(in PLAAF serial code J-7I), it's overall white except initial prototypes.

    Eduard PE is a good solution. Or you may scratchbuild some details, cause the cockpit is mostly black, details do not make so much sense as a interior green cockpit. The easiest method....put the "huge" pilot the kit provides. It looks as Czech striker Jan Koller....

    so holes side next to the flaps should be activate rods for flaps/ailerons. They are separate parts on ITA kit, on HAS kit, they wre molded together with lower wing, an apparent disadvantage of HAS's Ju87.
  11. fernandocouto
    any photos? If you are referring the holes outboard, they are positioning holes for balance weights.

    Excellent spray work

    In my opinion "12" tends to be blue ,refer to contrast of fuselage colour. By the way, what for red landing gears on some 109G? my memory was a indication of speciallized fuel or oil, but cannot find original book..
  14. fernandocouto
    Right these are only choice. However trumsh*ter's kit has some incorrect issues. Even had been discovered before release but they just keep it cause correcting mould cost a lot

    revell's Boston V is same kit as MPM/SHB's A-20J/K. A-20Gs on latter brand have same cowlings, even same instruction....I have a VVS A-20G and an MTO A-20B, which have early type cowling without bumps. Don't know how to align the bumps...still on my stash. Once read there still no replacement parts yet...Hope Quickboost will release one.

    Fantastic work!

    Nice work. Revell's Ju88A/C(new mold) has ful of details comparing with HAS or Zvezda, especially the cockpit and panel lines/hatches on chine. However it's not a joy to build. I had built one C-6 before, with similar problem on wing tip. Also the flaps are wrapped and difficult to attach on the wing. Fitting around the gondola is complex. My kit has gaps on cowling radiators, still do not know how to fill....

    Excellent painting work!

    So SHB made the same mistake as Hasegawa's P-51B, didn't they?
