Been working inside the comfort zone, meaning mostly around Eduards 190 F-8, but also some advances with the Stuka
The 190 whell bay is done - assembled, painted and weathered
The legs, both frontal and rear, are underway, 02 to be painted and the brake lines also added
The engine, which is almost invisible once the fuselage is complete, also done
The spinner spiral is a second try using one of the kits decals trimmed to size. The one that comes in Exito decal sheet has a poor placement issue, not sure if my fault or not, but thankfully the kit comes with a plethora of different spiral types used on the 190
The canopy is masked and first painted with the interior RLM66, and the headrest set is completed. All it lacks is the two spring cables of the closing mechanism
Finally the ordinance, the main AB250 bomb yet to be completed
and the resin SC50 completed… but I’ll likely add the Dinort poles to them later on
As for the Stuka, the propeller is completed (minus weathering)
I await the arrival of a Quinta Studio cockpit set to begin the cockpit work, but been chopping other parts like the wheels and the nose section
The contours of the nose parts is too thick, mainly around the area of the engine bearers, something Hasegawa overlook
Some work ahead… not forgetting the Henschel 🙂
