| jerry campbell | Scratch Built Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3 | Build | 14-Apr-14 12:49 |  | | Views : 355 | | My love affair with the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 began in the 1940s when I traded a number of military shoulder patches for a built DynaModel kit of the Fw 190. An older kid down the street collected army shoulder patches and since I had four uncles, all of which had been in the Army and fought in WW2 I had lots of trading material. The DynaModel kits were far ahead of their time, 1/48 scale solid model in shaped bass wood with many cast metal parts and a vacu-form canopy. I don’t know how well it was built, but in my eyes it was magnificet. Thus began a life time love of the German radial engine fighter. |

| jerry campbell | Scratch Built Focke-Wulf Fw 190A-3 | Build | 14-Apr-14 12:39 |  | | Views : 327 | | The Guillows kit is an good kit and with some minor modifications can be an excellent. The Guillows kit has a wing span of 16.5” while 1/24th scale is 17.5”. This 3/4 of an inch is almost negligible. However former B4 being an integral part of the cockpit canopy which is in two pieces is a real problem. In the past I’ve ignored this, however with this build of Fabir’s A-3 I decided to remove the top of B4 and mold a new canopy. |
