Thanks a lot, guys.
A bit more. I glued together the fuselage, gear bays and engine mounts. I was expecting more trouble with the mount, as the guy who reviewes this kit on modeling madness, had problems with it, but it went just fine. Instead the gun deck fit a bit funny.
Nothing is weathered yet. That part is next.
A shot inside the cockpit. Not great, but good enough.

More than good enough. Great, in fact That's impressive work, and exactly the kind of build that might tempt me to try 1/32. Watching with interest.Softscience wrote:A shot inside the cockpit. Not great, but good enough.

This just gets better Ralph. Some of what you are doing here, particularly with the paint effects, is a bit beyond my current skills set but it's great to watch and read how you do it and who knows perhaps an old dog like me can learn new tricks
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Two thumbs up Ralph

Definitely a thread to watch, I will be a regular visitor, thanks for sharing
A start on my first kit a Hawker Hurricane as been made, a spitfire awaits in the wings and thinking about models to come.
Modelling space in shed coming along nicely.

Re: Step by Step 1:32 Revell FW-190F
Just a small update. I was out in the field most of the week, and didn't have much time or energy for models.
I assembled and attached all the flying surfaces. The leading edge of the wing needed cleaning up, as did the very back part of the wing root. The trailing edges on the elevators are a bit thick, and may even need a dab of filler. I may split, sand, and reassemble these.
I might assemble and paint the inner framing of the canopy parts this weekend, though I feel like working on some armor kits...
