Hi Stephen
Understood. Been there done that, even in a museum setting its a distinct possibility. Staffers make mistakes too. My biggest reason for acrylic display boxes.
Hi Stephen
". . .I was just thinking of family and friends, and the accidents I've come home to over the years. I envy anyone who hasn't ever been met with that ashen look and the conversation along the lines of "I was only showing it to (insert name as required) and, honestly, we hardly even touched it..." as you survey the wreckage of months' of work. . ."
Hi Stephen. . . I can just imagine you letting anyone pick up the finished model to try to find the correct angle to peer into the cutaway bomb-bay. . .
". . .One point I need to make though... the fantastic bomb bay will be invisible when the model is complete.(Unless you build a crash diorama)
These air craft are/were fantastic works of art and with this detail a bare skeleton fuselage would be my option for building this. That would be fun and when done could be an educational exhibit at a local museum.
Enjoy

Hi Tom
Sadly, that's true of the interior details on most models. We love to know it's all in there, though, don't we- that's why we spend days working on it fully in the knowledge that (barring a catastrophic accident) we'll almost certainly never see it again!
All the best

You are far to modest Paul. I remember that superb looking yellow Fw 190 you built. That Eduard Fw 190 is not the easiest kit to put together![]()
