Reini78 Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Building all these 109s, my dad almost forgot the 190ies. So he started a late-war JG301 A-9 using the Tamiya A-8 kit with decals from the Eduard A-9 The Tamiya kit includes the bigger wooden prop.

Reini78 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 despite its age, not a bad kit, but some fit issues in the nose area DSC_0006 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0007 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr DSC_0008 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reini78 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 After a closer look at Yellow 8 my dad realized that it had the metal prop with balance weight. Don´t have that prop in the sparesbox and don´t want to buy it extra for this model. So my dad changed his mind and will build most probably an A-8, possibly this scheme DSC_0011 by Reinhard Spreitzhofer, auf Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Is it possible that the cowling gaps from earlier were made by the engine being skewed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmovik Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 A really small inconvenience which most people won't notice unless you point it out to them. However, you should paint the white spot of the CA with the camouflage colour to blend everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
