GB-36 1/32 Fw 190A-8/R2 - Axis Manufactured Aircraft of WWII

Michael, yea it's going to be a fun fitting which will most likely have to be done in stages. CA what lines up then force the rest into place bit by bit lining up as best you can and using a quick cure CA like Insta-Cure super thin which cures (they lie) in 1 - 3 sec.

Moving along nicely Jan

See if I can find the strength to do some more work on the A-8....woke up yesterday feeling shite, not much better today, the good news is though....I'm off for a week!

 

[Airframes]

So you didn't wake up feeling grumpy - you just left her sleeping then !
Hope you feel better soon old chap, after all, there's a world of pubs to be visited - again !

 

[Wayne Little]

Take care Jan....

 

[Lucky13]

Well, since apparently....the A-8 doesn't have those 'boots' on the guns....

 

[JKim]

I used those on my Dora but they were warped. I had to cut off the barrels and replace them with brass tubing.

 

[Lucky13]

Good to know, cheers mate!

 

[Lucky13]

Sooo....better be prepared to get these then?

 

[Airframes]

The Master brass items are terrific.
I have used, or have ready to use, a few of their various guns, in 1/48th and 1/32nd scales, and the quality and detail is superb.

With 2018 been a rather crappy year so far, biggest setback being the passing of the girlfriend of one of my close friends, after being told by the doctor, to come back in a couple of days, probably just a cold....riiiiiight....I haven't got much done on the Sturmbock!

I've got these....which were damaged!

Which made me think that I was extremely clever, as I bought two sets, with the other being OK....

Now I'm thinking of getting this set, as I can't be arsed to fill and sand the panels!

Plus these, to dress her up a tad more....

[Vic Balshaw]

Sad news Jan, I hope you and your friend are coping okay.

 

[Lucky13]

Think that he's managing to sleep now, we were all worried about him there for a while, as he wasn't sleeping....

Thanks!

 

[Wayne Little]

Sorry to hear that Jan....

 

[Wurger]

With all here.

 

[Lucky13]

With the mentally exhausting rollercoaster, that we had at work the last few weeks, I think that I'll give this wee girl a shot over the weekend....
Anyhoo....I imagine that, removing this:

....would be the safer bet, than trying to remove the back on these, without breaking them, right?

 

[Wurger]

It's up to you only if you decide to remove the back of these or some of the plastic atthe wing slots.

 

[Gnomey]

Nicely done so far Jan!
