I glossed the cockpit and the next day applied some wash and I'll let that dry overnight and work on it with a Q-tip you know. Started on the wing and building the machine guns that go in there but everything's mostly hidden so I'm not going to be painting anything yet. I have to say you know the instructions are not the best. And the plastic is not the best plastic either kind of soft. It melts real easy and rough handling while you're trying to glue it up? It will result in some warped wings possibly if you're not careful. This kit, if you wanted to, you could make access panels and move the flaps down and alleron's up or down. And cut out panels here and there and make some hinges. Sure. That's all possible if you wanted to do all that. But. But I don't think this kit is good enough. The plastic isn't good enough and while the detail is okay the parts aren't. I think better plastic would have helped out immensely and I don't remember my border models FW 190 going together or having trouble with this bad

[QUOTE="Rob, post: 250097, member: 21827"] I glossed the cockpit and the next day applied some wash and I'll let that dry overnight and work on it with a Q-tip you know. Started on the wing and building the machine guns that go in there but everything's mostly hidden so I'm not going to be painting anything yet. I have to say you know the instructions are not the best. And the plastic is not the best plastic either kind of soft. It melts real easy and rough handling while you're trying to glue it up? It will result in some warped wings possibly if you're not careful. This kit, if you wanted to, you could make access panels and move the flaps down and alleron's up or down. And cut out panels here and there and make some hinges. Sure. That's all possible if you wanted to do all that. But. But I don't think this kit is good enough. The plastic isn't good enough and while the detail is okay the parts aren't. I think better plastic would have helped out immensely and I don't remember my border models FW 190 going together or having trouble with this bad [ATTACH=full]142587[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142588[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142589[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]142590[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
