I don't think there's supposed to be a wheel bump on the upper leading edge of the wing. It seems your MG151 gun load/access bay has 2 bumps on it, it ought to have 1 bump and a flat portion ahead of the bump.

I don't know which skin I use now for the 152, but when yours is in there I'll definitely give it a run!

Seems to me the wing root is plenty thick enough. The wings were extended, but not totally redesigned, and since the others don't have it, I think it's like a panel line or something. I could be wrong, but no other 190s have a bump there.

I just got the second pic working. Look at the bump it shows in on the inner wings from the gun not almost above it, but Ill go try to find move pics to see if its wrong.

Good idea. Could be a sketchy line drawing. Almost looks like it's the MG fairing, but not really, know what I mean?

Doesn't seem to have bumps, HOWEVER, the Revell Ta152 model does.

I think Revell is in error, maybe.

EDIT: Even on the Revell it's a much more subtle bump than what you find on the 109s. Hrm... maybe there is a slight bump but Revell just exaggerated it too much? It's possible if it were subtle, like the K-4s bulged cowling, that it wouldn't highlight as much, but would still be present.
