109 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi Marc, the scissors are japanese scissors, a large Nigiri bought here: https://www.fine-tools.com/schere.html I also use these japanese micro saws a lot: https://www.fine-tools.com/micro-saws.html And – guess – japanese blades: https://www.fine-tools.com/messer1.html Circle Templates: The green template (roth DIN 520) is almost 30 years old. The orange template (Aristo AR5020) is brand new and bought via amazon. HTH! :-) sandokan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
109 Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 I am very honest when I say there are very few things I find more boring than a FW190 (maybe a 109 or Mustang ), except when it's scratchbuilt and in 1/12th scale - and so well done! Can't wait to see more of this! Your last words saved you! Starfighter, BGB and Shawn M 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Hi, filled in all balsa shells and blocks. There is a Fw190 in there! 1/12th scale vs. 1/32nd scale: Shaka HI, BGB, KiwiZac and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Intrigued by this kind of scratch-building...you're off to a great start! How do cut the MDF formers to shape? Whatever the technique, you've achieved nice clean edges. Rich 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 Hi, after several hours of sanding a Fw190 emerged out of the dust Believe it or not, but 95% of the sanding was done on a glass plate. Only fuselage spine and parts of the bottom needed a sanding block. And now time to get ready for dinner with my wife Lars Befring, sandokan, Shawn M and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
