Back in 2009 I was producing a weight reduction kit for the SisT composite model. The molded fiberglass parts were heavy and forced the builder to add extra nose weight.
Lately I had a few inquiries for those kits again so I decided to produce a new batch.

These parts will also be part of the new 20% Fw190A model kit, and will fit other kits in the market.

When I looked at the files I noticed some parts could be improved, better fitting, more scale, etc. (it never ends) so I spend a couple of weeks re-doing the files and this is the kit what I came up with:

 

Kit List of Parts:

Flaps:

o    2 x F01 lower skins (fliteskin sheet #11)

o    2 x F04 Ply upper 1/64” (sheet #12)

o    2 x F02 Balsa spars (sheet #02)

o    26 x F03 Ribs (sheet #WR01)

o    2 x Leading edge bass stringers 1/8” x 1/8”

Ailerons:

o    2 x AS02 Ply lower skins (sheet #06)

o    2 x AS03 Ply upper skins 1/64” (sheet #12)

o    2 x AS01 spars (sheet #02)

o    56 A1 through A27 Ribs (sheet #03)

o    2 x triangle 18”  L.E 

o    2 x 1/8x1x18” balsa strip

o    2 x aluminum tubes 14.5”

o    2 x A28 Aileron balsa tips (sheet #WR03)

Elevators:

o    6 x EL3 A/B/C Elevator spars (sheet #WR02)

o    2 x E1 Ply skins (sheet #06)

o    2 x E1B Ply skins (sheet #06)

o    20 x Elev. Ribs (sheet #WR01)

o    6 x E11 Elevator Tips (sheet #WR03)

o    4 x E12 Elevator counter balance (sheet #WR03)

Rudder:

o    4 x Spars (R1A/B/C/D) (sheet #02)

o    7 x Rudder Ribs (sheet #WR01)

o    2 x Ply skins (R02R/R02L)  (sheet #06)

o    2 x R11A parts (sheet #02)

o    2 x R11B (sheet #02)

o    2 x R12B (sheet #WR03)

o    2 x R2 (sheet #WR03)

o    2 x R3 (sheet #WR03)

Cockpit:

o    8 parts (1 ply, 7 fliteskin) Head armor, cockpit hatch.

JG,
Once I get a look at my Top RC FW-190 (still awaiting delivery) we might have something to ponder for upgrade.
