Ian.
Apologies for being even later than Steve ! :flushed:
My God are you 1/72 builders completely mad, how you coped with that office is beyond me. Great work.:thumb2:
John.

Thanks John but this one is a 1/48 so a little bit easier.

Thanks John but this one is a 1/48 so a little bit easier.

Oops..... sorry Ian , but still think is brilliant.

The fit of that nose cone is terrible. And this is a relatively modern tooling. Maybe Eduard expect it to be modelled with the nose cone open and the guns on display.

Ian,
man that is a bad fit but I guess you will soon beat this into submission, the office looks great.

Brilliant job on the office. Nose cone doesn’t look fit for purpose though...at least the plastic looks thick enough to take the necessary reprofiling....I trick I’ve used in the past is to occasionally re-scribe the detail when it is still visible as it gets sanded off.....if that makes any sense....

Makes great sense Tim

Well the nose looks a lot better, but still some work needed.

And as you can see I’ve started tackling the nacelles

Good work going on here Ian.
I remember this all too well.

 

[scottie3158]

Ian,
Nice work pulling this kit together.

 

[Mickc1440]

Keep up the good work

 

[Tim Marlow]

Hi Ian
Going well, if slowly :thumb2:
I wasn’t wrong about the nacelles then....sorry about that....

 

[rickoshea52]

This looks like a kit that won’t make it on to my wish list.

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work Ian

 

[papa 695]

Got the nacelles fitted, also fitted the wings.

Unusual to have fit issues like this with Eduard kits. Yes i know their Fw190A series has fit issues when the engine components aren't exactly right but i've never heard of kits having problems like you are with this one Ian. Hopefully this is justa duff kit and you've been the unlucky modeller to get it.

Nice to see you working it into submission though Ian

I had the exact same problems when I did mine a few weeks ago.

 

[AlanG]

Really Ralph? Wow! I always thought Eduard had a great reputation and quality assurance would have been top notch.

 

[Mini Me]

Sounds like Eduard's ben a bad boy. No doubt you'll get it sorted Ian
Cheers, Rick H.
