Thanks for the kind words all.

Good looking 190 Martin.

Hermann approves

Very nice Martin! I really like the cowling and rudder bright markings!

The bench as of this morning...

Bravo, Chris!

Looking better and better Chris! I am most curious to see how you will install the wings since you have removed the pivot mechanism… Obviously they will no longer operate as in the kit.

Well done Martin that's a great little FW, and Chris - that's looking fantastic.

The Pivot mechanism is still there . I removed the synchronization gears. The wings slide in and are caught/aligned by the plastic post so they are in the right position and you can swing them independently to the angle you choose. There is enough friction to keep them in place w/o glue in the fully swept position, but gluing them in place is the safest option.
