Dry fit of the windshield shows a terrible fit

After some sanding the windshield sits better, but still not perfect and, most of all, the base is still slightly wider than the fuselage

Closed and windshield glued in place, the top cowl was heavily sanded to fit, I ended up oversanding and using acrylic putty to fill it back over; really bad fir, Eduard!!!

Welcome mates; the painting of WWII german planes gives me great pleasure; my Iwata still handles the job, but I really must buy a new one soon, because it produces much more splatter than I find suitable for this scale (not visible on the photos)

I think you're doing a fine job Ricardo! However if you're looking for a a great airbrush to do some refined mottling, I highly recommend the Harder & Steenbeck Infinity CR Plus with a 0.15mm nozzle. A beautiful quality airbrush with easy handling, that delivers great results 👍

I bought one about three years ago; however, I could never work properly with it and after one year of frustration, and despite having spent aroud 200€, I offered it to a friend and vowed to never buy H&S again.... I admit it was probably faulty, now I'll never now

Thank you Jim; yes, I had a hard time choosing the profile from the box; in the end I chose the "black" profiles for both the Fw 190 and the Bf 109
