1/24 FW-190 WIP- THE MUMMY

Jmodeler & Wnut -Thanks for the interest. I added channels to the lgear covers and lined up the mounting holes . I also added quite a number of parts to the gear bay as well. The legs were slugged with .125" welding rod ,removing the springs . You can see the re-inforcement around the gear bay as well. The Verlinden resin kit is great it adds a lot of crisp detail to the cockpit and other areas, and fits really well.

You drilled holes in the landing covers to match the bolts?  Oh man!  I love that attention to detail.  The CP looks like it has been lived in but, not trashed.  This is some top notch work sir.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks Dave. I'm looking at some airbrush work on this today.

The killer D-9 takes on some color ,prop in RLM 70 and spinner gloss black ,camo grey/white mix for the color.

And the camo on the rudder ,with control surfaces painted.

Ongoing cpit details .Eduard seat belts ,paint flaking off , and placards from them as well.

The alien space chopper aligns it's 500mm stellar cannon on planet earth, to finally eliminate the universal scourge , humanity .

No ,really its the cockpit tub/engine power pod connection ,wanted to make this as soon as poss to get a good bond.

Wing work goin ' on , Trumpeter parts are pretty good .I see a lot of comment on the fiddly p/e parts for these kits ,no sign of trouble here yet.I am hoping to get the wings assembled today for drying. Loo roll to support and protect the gear.

Now to the Bobber wip for a minor setback..................

Engine wiring while the wings dry..................

The Deadly Dora wings on , well ,wing assy anyway..............................

Engine wiring/plumbing ongoing, I wont pic every wire but every hour I will take pix.

Wow...definitely a difference between someone like you (an artist) and someone like me (a recreational amateur modeler).  Outstanding work

hdh- thank you and stay tuned....................

Went to test fit today and found a few issues,a lot of thinning in the engine area around the top of the engine mounts.Exhaust proving to be the bugbear,ended up cutting them off and then things went a lot better.You can see alot in the top and through the bottom, D-9's were'nt paneled in the top of the gear bay. Wound up with all parts there and fitting well, gonna try tyo finish the wiring/plumbing today.

Wow! looking awesome!

I love how it looks the engine, beautiful!

Von Alf-Thank you heres some more ,its way out of hand but gettin' done.

More test fitting ,looks good ,no issues. Gun cover detail to be completed.

A few loose wires and some ignition tubes to go.................

Here is the rear fuselage with tail wheel and rudder ,also the antennawire ,I'll try this and see if it works.I carved a groove in the two fuse halves for the wire.The tail wheel is pinned.

The front of the fuse clearanced and painted.

Looks better and better everytime I see it. I really like how the engine is turning out.

Jmod-Thanks todays pix will be of the finished engine/cpit pod.

Ignition wire tube ,lay out on hex ,drilled wire holes and mounts,then sand to correct round shape....

On the engine.........

Lap belts in place........

Ignition wires finished as well as the plumbing.

Engine touched up and painted, this will do with a very few details to go.............

Some work on the guns,a wipe with graphite dust should do these.

Model meeting tonight , then all this will be in the fuselage forever!

That really looks nice Krow.

Wnut- Thank you . Todays work on the ip mounting and gun cowl fitting. Gun cowl is very thin and the top of the guns is flattened out to get this fit.....

Looks great so far.

I have a question. Are you going to leave the engine closed?
