Response to 3 little würgers - part IV : ... maybe Van Gogh
I'm pretty sure those are piano hinges, which are a continuous strip of hinge material.

Many of the Fw-190's access panels were hinged. They could be completely removed too, but many times just opening a panel up at the hinges was enough to get the smaller jobs or inspections done. Ease of maintenance was given much consideration in the Fw-190's design.

HyperScale's Group Build Guidelines

The objective of this Group Build is to encourage as many modellers as possible to build their kits and share their progress via words and photos on this Forum.

You are welcome to post general construction tips or relevant reference information and photos to this Forum too.

This Group Build will feature Airfix kits.

  1. Build as many kits as you like

  2. Conversions, aftermarket and scratchbuilding are all permitted.

  3. Any markings are acceptable.

  4. Document your progress and do a write-up on your build - where did you have trouble, what improvements did you make, what markings did you choose and why? It would be GREAT if everyone would do a writeup and submit it to HyperScale as a Feature Article.
