Oh yeah, test fit the brass gun barrels. They look spectacular prior to test fitting top wing halves.
Next to test fit and install weapons bay portion up front.
Do invest in a David Union Ergonomic Pen Sander...

Some late night (11 pm EST) sanding and test fitting. Looks promising.

Those barrels do look sharp Tom!

Wings halves are glued on. Had to do a bit more sanding to get them to sit right.
Now, I am undecided on which tires to use: plain or spoked type.

Wings on fuselage!

Re: Eduard 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw190A-6
Now it will be easier to position the weapons bay portion where it's suppose to go...
I will install the top back wall part later. First, time to slap on a coat of paint on it.

Re: Eduard 1/48 scale Focke-Wulf Fw190A-6
it looks like there should be a slight gap where the cannon fit through the leading edge.

That photo really does show to good effect just how grungy an aircraft gets in the rapid tempo of combat.
