Junkers Jumo 213E-1

Posted by Anonymous on Monday, May 30, 2005 2:57 AM

I just finished the engine for my latest project, Dragon's 1/48 Focke-Wulf Ta 152H-1.I used Alcad Magnesium and Aluminum for the metallics. Metalizer Burnt Iron was brush painted on the exhausts. I also added wires and hoses from fine wire and micro solder. I'll be building this aircraft with the cowling open.
In case you're unfamiliar with the Ta 152, it looks like an FW 190D-9 on steroids. It has a long span, high aspect ratio wing.

I have the Trimaster kit, which has wiring and plumbing diagrams. Much less frustrating than tyring to decypher photos !

Thanks for letting me share the pics with you !

MMmmmm..............looking good! If the rest of the model is anything like the engine you built, it's sure to be a winner! Wink [;)]

Again, that's truly amazing work Pix. I'm assuming this is the kit for the GB. I wish I had the wiring diagram for my 190. I've ordered the engine plug from PRP and will be adding some plumbing soon. Can't wait to see more. Great job!!!!

Thanks Simon, Darren, Gumiflex, Tankmaster, Gilmund, Rick, Jerry, and ygmodeler !

Simon and Tankmaster - the number of kits on the bench varies. The only quantity never present is 1. Right now, there are four (this one, 1/48 Monogram C-47, 1/48 Hasegawa Jill, 1/48 Tauro Macchi 202), but there are others that also get attention on a less regular basis. I'm disabled, so I spend 30 to 50 hours a week at the bench.

Jerry - yes, it's for the GB. I thought some people may be interested in seeing it that don't frequent those pages.

Thanks again !

Thanks ron b, jboutin, Joe, RadMax, and mikeiw !

ron b - I have a few things that make me unemployable. I have a contracture and nerve damage in my right hand (lifting a gallon of milk is painful), and I had a heart attack last summer. I just work at my own slow pace, and put in a lot of time. It took me 25 to 30 hours to do this engine.

mikeiw - I couldn't stop if I tried ! The accomplishment of creating a detailed miniature from a box of plastic parts is a feeling that's hard to top. Gotta keep building !

Thanks again !

You might not be able to dig a ditch but you are a master craftsman. I look forward to seeing more.

ron b - no, I can't dig the ditch, but then again, I don't think I'd want to. Black Eye [B)]

Here's another pic that gives you an idea of the size of this little engine. That's our standard unit of measure, a #11 blade.

The whole engine is only a little longer thanthe blade, but it has over 40 plastic parts and about 45 bits of wire and solder.

Thanks again !

Yes, ron, I understood what you meant. There's a lot of physical stuff I can no longer do with my right hand. Light work, such as building (doesn't require strength), is possible for me. About the only part of modeling that gets me is if I have extended airbrush time. My hand cramps easily. No offense taken, and I hope I didn't offend anyone who enjoys physical work. I'm just no longer capable of it.

Thanks waikong !

I started adding the Eduard PE parts to the cockpit today, and hope to have it painted tomorrow. I can then add some wiring and plumbing to it.

Thanks again !
