Just noticed working on the 1/72 Eduard FW 190 F-8 that there is no access panel on the starboard side of the fuselage,with no type of stencil to draw around how’s one supposed to fix this?
As you can see the 1/48 kit has the access panel.
To fix this you need to use a scribing template that has a rounded rectangle shape. These are available from a number of manufacturers, Eduard being one.
You will have to fill in the oval door at that location, and rescribe it in the location shown in the 1/48 scale part.
I’ve been looking for a template but only found one in 1/48 scale.
I sent a message to Eduard along with a photo and proof of purchase and asked why it was missing and if it’s possible to have a replacement.
Just got to wait for response
Cheers
Hasegawa and others have templates for scribing, regardless of scale:

Looks like the Eduard 00028 is the one to go for as there slightly rounded.
I’ve looked at the fuselage on earlier 190’s and this panel "first aid hatch"never showed up until the A-8 F-8.
I think Eduard has put in the early fuselage and not a A-8 one.
Thanks for replying
