Generally I don't either. Sometimes it's cool but not regularly.
There's a front coming through and I am in serious pain today. No work today me thinks.

Nice work so far Don. The Eduard PE parts are nice but I think they lose some points with their take on RLM 66. It's too blue in my view and hard to rectify without obliterating details.

Good Lord yesterday was not fun. When a heavy storm front, well most any, bet yesterday in particular, comes through the pain is not fun. Muscle relaxers and the couch are the only friends I have and if it really gets bad then I have some strong stuff, but I tend to try and never take that. This morning I did a little toward the cockpit putting in the back panels. The photos are good because when I blow them up I can see where I messed up and with extra thin I can go back, if early enough, and fix it. The panels in the photos is not set out enough and the are bent in on the outside. I corrected but not pics. Once this set's I can pull the side panels out and shoot the cockpit save the seat which will shoot separate. I'll use the Kits World seatbelts as I really like them! They need to go in much the same as the PE by ca to the side off the seat but they lay with a better look and the 3d look is in my opinion is much better, AND, I'M NIT OPINIONATED, I'M RIGHT! Well, err, yep you can use it!
This is BTW, my preferred CA. I can buy the ten pack at Harbor Freight for about $5.00 US. I get the regular CA also and it a buck less but I don't use it much, sets up too fast and runs everywhere. I guess I just need more practice but the gel works better for me and in the small tubes it not an issue to dry out on me and usually get a full tubs usage.

Good work Don and hope you are feeling better. I will mention this as you might have trouble fitting the seat otherwise: I think that those two armour plates should have their surfaces parallel to the back bulkhead rather than tilted like you have them.

I'll have to look closer as I think I followed the destructions, but wasn't clear.
Also that was what I was saying in my last that I did go and readjust them after I say the closeups of my previous photos. I think it looks better bu let me know.

Ok so everyone that was wanting to hear me rant! Here we go. The seat it to wide, or the cockpit is to narrow! I tried near every thing I could to get the seat in destroying two sets of seatbelts in the process, (if I can find the set, one set). I tried widening the lowering cockpit side walls but I was going to thin the seat and was trying to take it out of the cockpit,(It was set on not coming out), it took to flight and was the fastest that a Fw190 seat EVER flew! I kid you not that sucker was ROCKET powered! Funny thing is everytime I'm looking for something the CM has taken, I find things from previous builds, some years old.
So Anywho! I stole one for a Tamiya Fw190F. Although I have three other Eduard early Fw 190A and two D I chose this as an alternate route. It will fit in the cockpit!
