'White9' flown by Ofw. Migge 1./Njgr 10. The kit has a few fit issues but builds into a decent model. All comments most welcome,thanks

Excellent job Trey! That looks great sir!

Good job on a rather rare bird.

Nice one. Love a good Focke.

Nicely done. Only comment would be the landing gear, which looks a little too 'straight', but this might be the camera angle and the lens.

 

[Wurger]

I echo the post above.

Trey, you put together some nice kits and I especially like the paint scheme.

Very nice!

 

[treyzx10r]

Thanks to all for the great compliments and Terry thank you for your honesty I did have the gear too straight hows this?

a few better pics ,hopefuly the gear angle now is correct.

 

[Airframes]

That looks better, especially if they are also slightly raked forward.

 

[Wurger]

Yep...it seems to be better looking now. But what about the view from a side?

 

[LA2019]

Looks great. Cool paint job too...

 

[treyzx10r]

Thanks La2019 and thanks Wurger heres a side shot,hope they have the right rake .

Need to be angled forward more. I'll try to post a scale drawing, but it won't be until tomorrow night, UK time.

 

[treyzx10r]

Thanks Terry, I'm going to have to live with it as is but a ref for the next one will be much appreciated. I'm afraid to tweak on the poor things legs anymore ,I've already boogered them up and its only going to get worse under there.

 

[Gnomey]

Good work!

 

[mrf17]

Looks really good, Trey. Congratulations!

 

[Wayne Little]

Yes those legs should be angled a little further forward...however I like the look of your 190 Trey, nice man!

 

[Airframes]

Here you go Trey, might help for the next one. The drawings are mixed, being A3 and A8, but the angles are the same. Sorry they're not the clearest examples, but they were the easiest to scan quickly !

I find one of the problems with these kits is that the struts are molded with the oleos at full extension vs being compressed under the weight of the aircraft. The drawing above shows the significant difference in the side view.

Very nice!
