Thanks Steve. This Fujimi kit has the pylon but no sway braces. Looks like they will have to have been torn off during the ditching, or generally rotted away under the water!Gern
Dave, just to repeat my previous post, there is a photo of your 190 on Google taken shortly after it arrived ashore.
I wish I could find it for you again, but I've had no luck, but it is there, honest!
The belly is resting directly on half a dozen pallets. I can definately say without question, there is absolutely nothing still hanging from the underside of this aircraft, except seaweed!!!!
Also the engine compartment looks decidedly saggy from the firewall forward....I suspect it fractured sometime after it came clear of the water.
So as has been said, do what you like to your model, even the rivet counters and perfectionists won't be able to argue this time!!!!!!
I hope this clears things up a bit for you.
