RE: Black Horse Models FW190 A8 70
My BH Focke Wulf FW-190A 1.20 size arrived two weeks ago.
As expected its a well made built up structure through out and the vinyl covering is fantastically detailed and weathered in places.
Like all ARF' its a bit too glossy but nothing that a single coat of fine clear automotive paint won;t cure easily.
The cowl is big enough to accept a DLE 20 with the spark plug cap still inside it. I'm thinking DLE30 is the 2ay to go with a expecte weight of 4.8Kg (Black Horse seems to get their built weights right. I assume its specced for a OS F1.20 which is quite a weighty beast so I'm confident a Saito 1.50 or 30cc will fit without much modification.
As soon as I start assembling I'll post up a build thread. For now I first need to find a suitable engine and retracts and scale details on the gear.
The supplied colour scheme is not from any specific FW-190 like Priller's orKirchmayr, Stamberger or Hondt's aircraft.
The serial 990018 never existed as far as I can tell but thats fairly easy to convert to 960018 which did exist although under a different camouflage to the one supplied.
I'll have to find a suitable 190 to model this one on</p>
