BillL Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 As soon as this kit arrived, I wanted to start it. I knew that Eduard would be releasing an additional PE set for it, so I waited. I also ordered the placards, which should arrive soon. This is the cockpit OOB, since there are no items for it on the additional or placards sets. The console tops and instrument panels are pre-"painted," (probably actually printed), and the RLM 66 color is a bit "bluer" than the WEM color that I used. Model Master enamel RLM 66 would probably be a closer match. Since the cockpit will be dark once installed, I doubt that the difference in shade will show. I added three cables (one goes to the stick, the others towards the front of the cockpit) that I saw in pics. I never thought I'd say this, but I think a company finally outdid the Trimaster/DML/Dragon Fw 190 kits. I just ordered their Fw 190A-5 today. I love this kit !

Sebastijan Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Looks great! Will follow the Wurger progress with great interest! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Kethan Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Bill, I will be watching this one closely. I always look forward to your builds, even if it's a subject I don't want to model. However, modelling a 190 is right up my alley. I just purchased the Eduard A8 kit before Christmas, so I'll be watching your build to help spot the pitfalls. Great job, as usual Bill!

BillL Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Thank you Sebastijan and Chris ! I have all the RLM 02 areas painted, washed, and dullcoated, but I still need to drybrush them. They're pretty much all assembled (but still "separate" enough to drybrush). Dryfitting shows very close tolerances between the forward fuselage interior and wheel wells. Proper alignment of all the interior components is necessary in order to avoid complications. I've been dryfitting, experimenting with different assembly sequences. I'll make sure I post the method that works best for me, in case you want to try it on yours. It sure is a nice kit, and it begs to be built ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was really hoping you were going to do one of these kits. Can't wait to see your progress. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
