Impressive diorama!

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

Skyhiker
It'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 Hagelstein
I've seen that promise before Skyhiker! 😂 Good luck keeping this one OOB! 😉👍🏼

I really hate Revell conopys.

Sergio Ordonez
Mate, I think you should put the windshield uspside down. The ángel does not cope with the real one as I see on photographs.

Skyhiker
Unfortunately it looks even worse the other way around. The idiot engineers at Revell should be fired.

Sergio Ordonez
Well, 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.

What a terrible canopy

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

Sergio Ordonez
Your 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!

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

Great effort and progress! 👍🏻

Skyhiker
Sergio 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 Ordonez
Thanks 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 D
You 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 👍👍👍

Skyhiker
Mr 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.

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

Mr D
Hi, yes l had trouble too, l did a dry fit before paint, and l had to take a combination off the glass n some off fuselage, and had to use a bit of UV clear resin.
I got it to fit in the end, but it's not very clear to see through.
I had a bit missing of my engine fan too, had to make it up with super glue gell.

Simon Nagorsnik
Wow, a dio in 1/144- sounds interesting!
I can see the Feifel air filter on the tank, i think this one was used on earlier vehicles on the africa front.
I can't say exactly how long they were used later because these are normally no longer visible in later versions.

★ Starfish ★
I will remove these filters or cover them with tarps 😉

Spanjaard
Certainly joining for the ride 🙂

Robert Podkoński
Looks interesting!

HSC1932
What a great idea for a diorama! It's shaping up nicely. Is that a Dragon 1/144 Tiger?

★ Starfish ★
Thanks a lot HSC1932! The tank is a cheap diecast that I ordered from China and repainted later.

★ Starfish ★
I used a picture frame and structural paste to form the terrain. Then I used my new static grass applicator. As you will see soon, I scratch built my own trees to place the aircraft next to a little forest. The Tiger tank is a cheap diecast that I repainted. As some tank experts already told me, it's highly unlikely that this type of tank would have been in service late in the war. I still decided to use it but concealed the Feifel air filters under a tarp later. More details coming soon!

Here comes my second diorama in 1/144th scale which I call "The Last Stand". The (fictional) scenario is a group of infantry and a tank defending one of the last critical positions late in WWII. 2 Bachem Ba-349 Natter were abandoned before they could be launched against bombers. A video with all details about the building process can be found on my YouTube channel - I hope you like it!

Amazing fun little diorama! I love it!

Wow that's cool!

Ray Loch
Well Done!

There are still many parts to be installed and many details to be worked out, but cruising with friends is truly a joy. My Gneisenau is expected to be finalized this winter.

Neuling
Well done so far!

Spanjaard
looks great so far. it certainly looks in its right place in the water 🙂

Thanks Neuling! l'll finish her with high quality as soon as possible😊.
