1:32 Revi 16 for Fw 190A/F (Revell)

3DF Revi 16 gunsight for the Fw 190A/F 1:32

This is a fine 3D-printed resin part representing the German Revi 16 reflector (collimator) gunsight in 1:32 scale. The accessory raises the fidelity of the cockpit of Focke-Wulf Fw 190 models in the A and F versions considerably and replaces the simplified part from the box.

The real subject

Gunsights of the Revi series were standard equipment on German fighters in the Second World War. A reflector gunsight projected a ring of light onto a glass plate, so the pilot could aim without having to follow mechanical sights.

Building and painting tips

• Separate the part carefully from the print supports and clean it up.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• The clear plate of the reflector is best suggested with clear varnish or film.
• Because of the small dimensions, work with tweezers and a magnifier.

Who it is for

For advanced modelers who want to equip a cockpit faithfully and are not content with the simplified part from the box. It is not a model in its own right but a small detail accessory.

A detail accessory, not a model in its own right. Paints, glue and the kit are not included in the package.
