Oh darn, now I'm tempted to get a 3-D cockpit set for my 190! That's cross-contamination for ya. It's like cooties in kindergarten, one kid brings it in, and pretty soon everyone has it!

Shoot, I need to pay attention to this one. I ordered a Quinta set, but it wasn't in stock, so I'm hopeful it shows up at some point this year. Supposedly they have an order in so we shall see.

Quinta doesn't make one for the A-4. But the A-4 and A-3 are the same thing They do now, as I've ordered it. Probably just a rebranding of the A-3 set. However it was supposed to be in stock already and I haven't gotten an update so no doubt they are behind. Oh well, I will either get it or I won't. May try to source the A-3 set as I'd like to try them out. ![](https://i.imgur.com/mFaZFe3.png)

Okay I caved and ordered the Quinta Studios stuff. TJ - did you put the console decals direct on the tub or on the inserts (B1 & B2) and then glue the inserts to the tub?

Excellent start TJ. I've already got my Quinta set for my 1/72 Ta-152. It will be my first try at them. Got you bookmarked and ready to follow along.

The fuselage is closed up. Always amazes me how little you can see of the IP on a Fw190 ![](https://i.postimg.cc/wTXJBVSd/20240106_062256.jpg) ![](https://i.postimg.cc/nhnm9mJ9/20240106_062236.jpg)

Coming on very nicely.....as you say it's almost a shame that all those lovely 3D decals will be largely be hidden.

Nice to see the progress. Yeah, certainly one of the unfortunate aspects of the 190's.

I still detail 'em out but like you said, next to nothing can be seen of either panel with one being recessed under the shroud and the lower one tucked up under and forward of the top IP.

Moving along great! A pilot friend had a chance to sit in a 190 and a 109. He said the cockpits were so small they were like "putting the airplane on" not getting into them

Looking good, TJ! I love the Quinta sets. They look better than PE and are much easier to use. They definitely speed up the process. Not sure where most people are getting them but I get them from Hobbynut. They tell you when they are expected to be in if out of stock which is nice.

Doesn't look like you had to add much putty at all to those wing roots Johnny. She's starting to resemble an airplane dude.
