1/18 - Focke Wulf Fw.190A-5 & A-8 by HobbyBoss (Merit plastic) - A-5 & A-8 released

There was a trader at Telford asking 85 quid for this kit. He said he had sold 7 or 8 at that price. I was sorely tempted, but went for a Trumpeter 1/24th FW-190 "Dora" instead.

 

I suspect that if we wait for a year or so, these may be around the 75 quid mark (but of course if it goes out-of-production in the next year, the price will increase very quickly! You takes yer chances on something like this....).

 

Cheers.

Hi,

Bought this 3 weeks ago, bottom line:

I am in serious doubts. 

To be honest, I am no even sure if it is worthwhile putting in time to try to correct this, this is not about detailing, it is about correcting fundamental structural errors.

If someone can offer advice – please go ahead!

I might just bite the bullet and finish this as a painting exercise.
 

Best Regards
Johan

Be grateful that it's not a Combat Models kit!

 

By the same token, treat it like a basic vacform kit; scratchbuild to add structure and detail wherever necessary. These kits were meant to be sold as pre-painted, partially assembled display models so they have to be easy and quick to build on a production line. They are a starting point for a detailed model, nothing more.
