Hello, after the 190 is for the 190.  My Second Entry for the GB A FW190 F-8 with 103 mk canon. In Service of the JG 6 late 1945. with some accessories. I still have to get some accessories at the end of August, but I'll probably start on the cockpit when I have time.   |

I looked through everything and I have the new toll for the 190s. From Hase. The Eduard stuff is for the old toll from the 70s. Strangely enough. Here I can see that I have to saw away some of the engine and the machine gun shaft and also have to scrape some of it. I hope that it fits reasonably well. The cockpit is very detailed and I will just mount the cannon switch for the MK 103. I have time again on Sunday and will try to see how the cockpit fits into the fuselage.        |

It'll be interesting to see how much modifying you have to do to get the Eduard parts to mate up to the Hasegawa kit

Your going to take away all of my "too many aftermarket parts" excuses for not having my 190 much further. This will be awesome to watch you craft together

Evening, today I started with the FW190 and immediately had problems with the Eduard seat belts, the buckles are too narrow to push the seat belts through. So I glued the buckles on.   |

Been there and done that with the buckles. Those are NOT the easiest belts to work with so I've started working with the cloth ones. Hats off to you for tackling these though Chris.  |

The struggle is real with some belt/harness sets.
