Finished the cockpit, just added some lapbelts from masking tape and a couple of offcuts of etched steel.

there are a few gaps to fill though.

Also as with the airfix kit the fabric detail on the flying surfaces is very overstated.

Cheers for now,

Just a small update on the Fw190, I got bogged down a little with the overdone fabric texture, still not entirely happy with the result.

I managed to do some painting of the basic colours, the grey and green have come out very dark with very little contrast between the two:

The underside came out better, just a little glue smear to paint over:

And the little Hagelkorn:

Thanks for looking, more soon.

The 190 is nearly there now, the kit was let down a little by the decals being very thick, milky and brittle:

A couple of coats of matt varnish helped:

Thanks guys.

The hagelkorn is now attached along with the prop and other details, I will have to redo the paint on the canopy before that gets fitted, but that will be the last step.
