Revi 16b gun sight made with celluloid film and the reshaped canopy is now glued on and fits very well.

SkyhikerFor a relatively new kit I am surprised on how much flash and fitting issues this kit has.

SkyhikerIt's really hard for me to fight off the urge to correct the structural issues with this kit. But I promised myself I would make this one out of the box.

Patrick HagelsteinI've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

Sergio OrdonezMate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.
2 August, 20:52
SkyhikerUnfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.

Sergio OrdonezWell, I had some work with French engineers and I know shit happens. Could you take a photo with this one in the other position?

The windshield is not an isoscelles triangle so the windshield has not a 45 degree ángel over the capot. Please, see these example of a TA-152 (and please, mind It is 35 years old and I was only 13 when I drestroyed It).
I think an easy solution can be made. I do not want any mate to be anoyed by an engineering issue. I had them everyday (it's my job, Factory engineering problem solving, known as 'shit managing") and It can destroy your mojo.

SkyhikerAfter several hours of sculpting I got the canopy to fit better. I will continue with it tomorrow.

Sergio OrdonezYour mojo works, mate! Now you have became a great problem solver!
On the other hand, I think another 3D engineering guy needs to stop drinking and 20 years of 2D drafting. The fitting is worse than I could imagine. But I see is no a problem for a seasoned mate like you. Great work, mate!

NicolasFollowing. I build this kit several times in older versions. The fit of the canopy is realy sh*t. My solution was (with about 10 years) to sand the backside of the windshild till it fitted. Of corse so most of the frame is missing.

Thomas KolbWhat a struggle! It reminds me of some Heller and Amodel kits. But it looks that you manage to coax it into shape!

SkyhikerSergio the TA 152 had a very different canopy than the 190. The 152 was designed for high altitude flying, was pressurized and had double panes.

Sergio OrdonezThanks you, Skyhiker: I think I can remember now, as I researched about FW190 and TA152 black in the 90's. Also, canopy is bubble-shapped. Sorry, my FW190 Mustang have been gone forever, I expent the night trying to find It, just to find my solution, but I think only the reta of the TA152 has survived.

Mr DYou done a better job of the seat belts than l did 🤣. The cockpit glass on my model was not very clear!
Looking good, ... Thanks for uploading 👍👍👍

SkyhikerMr D did you also have so much trouble with the canopy? I read in the kit review at the bottom of the page that it was bad. I really wish the reviews would be moved up because I always forget about them. It took me quite a while to get the canopy to work. It needed a lot of reshaping to look right.

SkyhikerI decided to make my own blueprint for this plane. So, that's taking up a lot of my time at the moment.

Jim Bob McCabeThis is bloody marvellous! Hats off to you, Simon, for such an inspired idea and excellent execution of the subject. You can almost hear that gull calling....

Spanjaardfully agree with all of he above. splendid. I love how you combined the figures to keep the steel wire in place
10 August, 21:19
Robert PodkońskiWhat else could be said about the model, idea, and photos... Chapeau bas!

Jan PetersVery nice indeed 👍🏻
Nice model, well set scene and nice and atmospheric photography.

Bruce HuxtableSuperb observation of so much subtle detail, perfectly executed. Loving the moody images too 🙂

TreehuggerIt's a little tricky with the clear parts on top. The top "housing" is molded with the big hull, and so if you glue on the big parts, you can't glue on the clear parts anymore, because the clear parts are supposed to be glue on from the inside.
3 August, 07:30
Alberto TraversoYes Treehugger, in this case the clear parts definitely must be glue on before gluing the main chassis
