SeanH Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Now two pipes on the left side: This one of the nicest Fw190 engines I have ever seen. Great job Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max N Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 This one of the nicest Fw190 engines I have ever seen. Great job Max. Wow, thanks Sean. I am pleased with how its looking - I'm constantly blown away by all the great builds here on LSP and that has inspired me to try and raise my game :-) These last three shots bring the engine up to date - all the exhausts are finally done, and I have started on the plumbing which will eventually go to the bulkhead fittings on the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nmayhew Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Max, your engine could be taken for the real thing - seriously it looks as though someone lifted it straight out of a 190!! awesome work Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max N Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Also did some work on the main gear. Starting with the wheels, I sanded the kit part down until it was a lot thinner, and opened up the holes. Trying to get it to look like the real part (pressed steel I guess) Also added some aluminium tube and a cotter pin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max N Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I turned some new main gear tubes out of aluminium bar, and stuck on the ends from the kit part. Also added the little bosses and the studs that will attach the doors. Later on the placards were added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
