Man that engine is fantastic.
I am just starting an Accurate Miniatures 1/48 TBF-1C Avenger I bought at an IPMS show. Included in the box was a Verlinden resin engine Marked for the Avenger but it looks VERY similar to your 190. I am going to attempt to build it similar to yours in appearence with of course American colors. I just hafta find some referance pics somewhere but I don't know exactly what the engine brand/number would be.
Any suggestions ?
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Those are amazing details in the engine and pit, specially in that small scale. Just outstanding fermis.
Too many models to build, not enough time in a lifetime!!
Say...just how big is that penny anyway? That is some superb work fermis! You da man.

Amazing work fermis. You have to have incredible patience to put in that much detail. Your engine looks like it could start up and start belching smoke any minute now

The engine did not want to fit. Either the bulkhead sits a bit too far forward, or the engine mount is too long. The end of the exhausts should be right about even with the front of the panel.
(Gotta clean up that seam on the exhausts!)
I trimmed the engine mount...
Attached to the bulkhead and added some more wires.
Just a few touch ups needed on the bare wires and I can proceed!
TREYZX10R That engine looks amazing! What did you use on the exhaust,they look very authentic!

Thanks you!
The exhausts were painted flat black, then just drybrushed with a dark brown and lighter brown. At the end, they'll get a treatment of brown & tan pastels.

That is amazing work on such a small scale. My hats off to you for being able to work so small. I just can't do it. Fantastic.

Negatory.
Got some craptastic weather and got to spend many hours at my airport, keeping the runways clean. I did get a couple hours "down time" waiting for the snow to pile up a bit. Took the 190's, got seams sanded...that's about it.
Any new pics?
I haven't quite gotten that far yet, but a little test fitting shows the back of the exhaust stacks to be a bit over 1mm too far forward. The cowl will be wide open, so not much issue there. It does seem to fit nicely inside what little reamins of the cowl.
We shall see!
JackReacher I think the gearbox on the engine should be satin black instead of blue...

Yes...it has been repainted. The ref pic I was looking at turned out to be a Russian built copy used in rebuilt warbirds.

Much thanks!
The mag wires were PE...the fine wires I added in back are just fine copper wire, taken from some of the old runway/taxiway lights at my airport. Kinda fitting, to put em back into "aviational" use!
Excellent detail work Fermis, that engine is awesome. Looking forward to further progress

Really humbling and inspiring to see what experts can do with 1/72 scale!!
Thats some impressively fine details you got for a 72nd kit. Beautiful.
AdeB Attempted this a few weeks ago...failed. Couldn't get the engine to fit. May have to buy some over trees to replace the opened up fuselage pieces. Your skills are obviously way better than mine young jedi

I can already tell, from dry fitting...the engine mount is about a mm long. Nothing a little cuttin and drillin can't handle...I hope!
Thanks dudes!
Not much to show for today (spent most of the day outside)...missing sprue came in, so I got the 3rd one caught up to the others....
Dang fermis, remove the penny and I'd swear this was quarter scale or larger. Awesome work man.
Seriously a fine build, what a steady hand you must have. Thanks, I'll be checking up on this WIP regularly.
