That looks really good, you know the biggest problem I had was the gun blisters at the wing root. The engine was amazing. Maybe it needs a second chance..

I did mention that so the cockpit is not for sale yet (I am hoping they are looking at making the cockpit floor a spreader bar to improve the wing root fit_.

Maybe it needs a second chance..

Second Chance is waiting! If you want, I will keep you posted on the solution if realized with the cockpit floor.

Dang I forgot about that...Why make a spreader bar when the kit comes with a bunch of them in the form of the sprue trees :dude

I can't remember if it left a gap between the fuselage wall and floor, seems like the proper width floor could serve a dual role, know what I mean?

Yes, and it is exactly what I was trying to get The New TMD to do, make the cockpit floor wide enough to act as a spreader bar too (detail and correction).

I have now confirmed that the kit will be cast and ready to ship by early next week. The cockpit floor is also a spreader bar plus the set also provides a lip for the gun cowl to rest on (which supposedly was an issue when building the model).

If this Fw-190A-8 cockpit does well, there will be more variants coming.

Well tell them I want one. Send them my email to let me know when it's ready and I'll give ol' Pips another go.

Since it is a one man operation, chances are they won't reach out to anyone so I will post here when it is ready to order.
