Hi comrades! My next build is twin! The old DML (I have it since 1992 😜) and 1st edition of Eduard will be built as last ground attackers of Luftwaffe, both from 1945 in Czechoslovakia airfields. The variants will be with different ordnance: Eduard - with Panzerschreck, DML with bombs So far, interior was finished and main construction completed for both kits. The DML fuselage was widened in the bottom aft section to produce the wing-to-fuselage joint without gaps. Main issue with Eduard is closing the unwanted openings on the wings - the only use of putty so far. Now we are almost ready for the primer! Eduard is in olive colored plastic. Thanks for looking! -
Focke Wulf 190F-8 Propeller 1:32 Brassin (632 069) Although the general feeling is that the Revell 1:32 Focke Wulf 190F-8 is pretty well detailed straight from the box, it seems Eduards intent to replace almost every bit of detail other than the main fuselage and wing components. With this in mind they have just released a replacement propeller set. The set comes in the hard blister pack that Eduard/Brassin parts are usually found. On opening there is a small etched template under a card backing, three dark grey resin propeller blades and four light grey resin parts, protected by foam inserts. The propeller boss and cooling fan need to be carefully removed from their moulding blocks and cleaned. The tangs on the brass template are then folded to 90 degrees which are slipped over the boss back plate so that the shaft hole can be accurately drilled out. The set includes a jig so that the propeller blades can be fitted to the boss at the correct angle. The spinner also needs to be carefully removed from its moulding block, and for some strange reason Eduard have made this so that the pour stubs are on the out surface of the spinner. This makes for quite a bit of careful sanding and polishing to get a really good smooth surface. With the blades attached to the boss, the spinner can be added along with the cooling fan and the whole assembly slipped onto the kits propeller shaft. Conclusion Although the new Revell kit has superb detail straight out of the box some modellers are just not content. This is a very nice set that is slightly marred by the way the spinner has been moulded, but hey, this is modelling, right? Once assembled the propeller will look superb. Highly recommended.
