Location of trim tab stencil on FW190 A-5, and A variants generally


Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

I've built several of the 1/48 Eduard Fw190 A and D variant airplanes, and I have never been able to determine, for sure, even in photos of the actual planes, where, exactly, the stencils that are present for the trim tabs on the rudder, elevators, and ailerons are supposed to be located.  Are those stencils supposed to be on the trim tabs themselves, or are they supposed to be on the large control surfaces, right next to the trim tabs?  Sorry for such a stupid question, but I've been unable to get an accurate answer.  I suppose either way would be okay, though the stencil size is just big enough that they probably can't really fit on the tabs, but then again...  Any help from true Fw190 experten would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, barkin.  It turns out that my friend had an older Fw190 book that has pictures of in-service Fw190 aircraft that show the stencils to be present on the trim tabs themselves, and later variant 190s that have the stencils where your photo indicates.  Thank you for the help!
