1/24 FW-190 WIP- THE MUMMY

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

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

Ignition wires finished as well as the plumbing.

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........

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Wow! looking awesome!

I love how it looks the engine, beautiful!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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..................

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

Nice work there.  Did you redo the LG door interiors? Or did Trumpeter fix them?  That looks like the Verlinden resin cockpit.  The landing gear really needs to be beefed up.  That cockpit is like a brick.  i think if a fly landed on mine the thing would collapse.

Nice job so far. The spinner and the engine look great.

Spinner work ,I buggered the decal up so I scanned the sheet and traced the spinner decal converting it to a vector file and cut masks on my vinyl cutter.

Sprayed with MM Camo grey with a little white.Testors Dull coat to finish.

Progress today..............
