Tonight I've added the wing upper surfaces, using the spar that forms the wheel well as a guide to set the dihedral

A slight gap at the front of the port wing, but not too bad. But the junction of wing/fuselage at the back was pretty non existent!!!

I've also installed the upper part of the Quickboost flaps

And started work on the wheel bay

A quick test fit does show that I need to thin down the flap inserts slightly, or the lower wing where they join, and also there is quite a gap that I'll need to fill with plasticard at the lower fuselage that is attached to the lower wing.
I've also test fitted the Quickboost closed cannon covers, and assumed that they would be a simple drop in replacement. However, far from true - there is a great wedge of resin to sand off to make them flat and after doing so I realised that they won't completely fill the apperature in the wing, so I've sanded down the kit parts ready.

Couple of shots of my Fw 190D-9 "Black 1" finished. As you can see I went for "dirty" look. Hope haven't went over the top with it. Anyway, not my best work probably, but glad to see it done. Don't know why it took me so long to finish it...
I'll post official (and more decent) ***Finished photos in couple of days, as soon as we get some sun around here.
@silence - B.Computer Science/Software Engineering; I have 3 courses left to go! But with my Grade Point Average, I'll probably go straight into some Post-Grad stuff (I have scored High Distinction's in all courses, bar two; and in those I got Distinction's - the first of which was due to be grouped with SLACKERS for group-work and the second I just blew the final and finished up 1 point short of a HD... My Uni awards grades as per; FF : Fail, P : Pass (=>50), C : Credit (=>65), D : Distinction (=>75), HD : High Distinction (=>85); not sure why 'fail' is 'FF' - I suspect its because when you get your results and see a fail on it, you preface the fail with something a bit salty - like "What?!?! I F@#$ING FAILED?!?!"... ).
But its holidays now, so I am determined to think about as little of that crap as possible - I have the D-15 to finish painting, this Ta 183 Nightfighter to finish (its a BIG aircraft - it has the length and span of a Fw 190D, with a great deal of fuel capacity, when you consider the internal tanks, wet wing and drop tank capability. My Luft '47-esque Ta 183 has even greater fuel capacity, with the semi-recessed Bomb-bay, being turned into one big, bulged fuel tank and an extra tank hung off the wing to provide aerodynamic balance to the Illumination Radar on the other wing), a bunch of He 219A research and drawings to finish and for some reason, I want to model some Jets!
BUT, back to the models Tis cold and raining here ATM, so not ideal weather for shooting colour (despite the rather effective moisture trap on the compressor), thus its Ta 183 time
