Valkyrie Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Oh nooo, yeah hopefully when cemented it will draw all the parts together? What a cockpit, that’s superb, shading outlines, metal chipping and dials. I’d love just once to be able to build a good model. If your cockpit is anything to go by it will be good indeed. Anzio, wow I hope you enjoy that!! My main subject field is MTO Luftwaffe and particularly SG/4. They were pulled down during the Anzio landings and I have about 40 Fw190s in my stash to build and about 9 books still to read. Plus it’s Italy, lucky boy!! Enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hope you have a great trip to Italy Nigel, especially the visit to Anzio. Oh, and the cockpit looks great too . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Careful with the gaps between the wings and the fuselage, they can be foxed by adding a spreader sprue in front and aft the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased some round filing sticks just before we left so they'll hopefully be useful for shaping. Sadly, Anzio never happened There was so much to see in Rome that we decided to stay in the city on Sunday. Another day maybe!

Hi, Thank you for the heads up; the gap isn't too bad. I've seen worse so I must be lucky with this box On 6/17/2019 at 4:22 PM, PlaStix said: Fantastic progress Nigel!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Found a good link with Priller info. There's a photo with his 190 with chevrons from May/June 44. He and Rommel are standing on the wing as well. https://ww2aircraft.net/forum/threads/josef-pips-priller-and-his-machines.28055/ Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here are some not-quite-so-amazing images. This is proving a testing build. Not too much filler required but there is a lot of dry fitting, cutting, filing, repeat process - more than a few times!! Anyhow, This is where she's at currently: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, I’m good thanks but my modelling time is non existent at the minute Work is chewing up so much time lately as is the fact I’m putting a new bathroom into my parents house at weekends. Hope to get back to the bench soon!! 8 hours ago, mick said: good work on the pit Many thanks, Mick. Glad you like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wimbledon99 Posted September 26, 2019 Author Share Posted September 26, 2019 Well, I thought I should post the obvious and say this will unfortunately be a 'Fail'. Time, work and family are still against me but it's all good. Hopefully be able to get back to the bench in the near future and possibly submit this as a KUTA!!

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Sorry to hear this, but we all understand that life takes over and says no modeling today. Will keep a lookout for it in the future. Dennis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
