Those trailing edges are perfect. I too used the Micro-fill for fairings with great results. Reminded me of the old Brylcream commercials.."a little dab will do ya". Looks great now, primed willed be even better, camoed...furgedaboutit!! Have you thought about the fuselage MGs. I'm trying to figure out a neat way to install the troughs as I filled them in solid as the Guillow's plan wasn't accurate for the Mess. BTW variable pitch props on a FW190.

Duh!! I totally forgot about them. I guess it's not quite ready, yet.

DD... perhaps you could channel the wood a bit, lay in some Al tubing then microfill and sand. Small wooden dowels would work also....just a thought.

I fogot to mention the surface prep is stupendous!

I'm going to try a series of graduating wood dowels wrapped in sandpaper. The hard part is that they taper to a point much like a candlestick or a flat exclamation point. The wheel wells were filled with micro-fill and a pvc tube embedded for shape. Might try this tonight while some primer dries on the moveables.

Another museum quality plane by DX2=3M. Outstanding once again!!!!

DD, this is looking super fine! The machine gun troughs in the FW-190 were very shallow, almost non-existent. A couple of swipes with a folded piece of sandpaper would do the trick. Again, great looking model/can't wait to see it finished.
