Hello guys

I am a tankie not a flyboy, so I am really out of my depth... but like a fool I'm build a 1/32 Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190 A8 and need a little help.

This picture:



shows an open hatch on the fuselage. What am I lookin at here??

I have this hatch opened up and wish to detail whatever is inside, but I've seen other pics showing a fuel tank in there... could anyone help me out with what's going on inside ?

I am no stranger to detailing and such, so building the details inside is not a problem..... but of course I need to know what's inside there first !!

cheers
Jon

Hey, you tankie, you! You're looking at the racks for the radio gear- there's a master compass back in this hole as well. Others will be able to tell you more. Welcome to the Light Side, my friend!

thanks Chuck, so there's supposed to be a radio in there huh.

hmm... that info will help me research, as I can search for radio gear rather than just "fuselage door" or "fuselage hatch" !

cheers
Jon
