RE: WILLHOBBY FW 190 Build
Gentlemen
I finally give up on getting a set of KMP retract/struts/wheels for the bird. I had about every excuse given to me in the last four months on as to why we don't have any. I've looked at others but have talked to friends who have used other than KMP without much luck so I'm going with fixed gear and get on with life. Finally got around to the initial paint for this particular bird. Decided on a vehicle flying in North Africa during 42 and 43. I am using house paint from Ace Hardware to get the colors close and have managed pretty well so far. Being an electric bird it does not have to be fuel proof and covered pretty well when sprayed on. I did not try for a slick paint job but wanted something that looks like it had been painted in the field. I got that look and still have to finish panel lines and markings plus a little dusting for effect. Last thing will be a light coat of Testors Dullcoat to even everything out. The bird flies great and I had about a dozen flights on it prior to starting its paint. Look forward to getting it back in the air even though I'll be flying in the pattern all the time with the damn gear down. ed
