Mal_Belford Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thanks Pete! Well as planned I kicked into high gear on this one fellas......................... I mixed up a batch of my recent favorite rock solid epoxy solution JB Weld to get the gear attached: If you guys havnt used this stuff its quite amazing as far as its ability to not only form a rock solid bond, but remain flexible and not brittle, enough that whatever you glue stays like that permanently through all kinds of environments and handling Got the gear glued on and braced: Then I ran the brake lines, gave her, her Mk 108 fangs, and added the bracing actuator arms along with a few Scale hardware nuts that I later painted RLM 02: I also finished up the canopy, including the armored headrest retaining wires, and internal antenna pulley: You can see in these how the internal section of the aerial antenna rolls over the pulley and to the fixed antenna base behind the armored seat-back: After the JB Weld hardened off, I repainted and weathered the turtle-deck, and applied the stationary internal antenna base plate, and added some lead wire for the wire lead into the cockpit from the aerial antenna: AND ON TO THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..................................... WOW Brian........ That is AWESOME Detailing.......Just lovit.. Just lovit....effective, ellegant, looks great..... /Mal Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultmo Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Beautiful build--actually, builds. That FW 190A8/R2 is beautifully detailed (the canopy is fantastic) and finished...thank you for providing such a great overall model-building tutorial. Excellence...

JRutman Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Major congrats on the well deserved awards bubba. That biplane is sweet. I totally loved the interior detail on the 190 canopy. That has always been one of my pet peaves as in 1/32 and above the inside of canopies usually gets ignored by most modelers but in the big scales,it shouldn't be ignored!!! Nice!!! Another very minor point on these late war 190s is the outer wing gun bulges on the upper surface installed for both the 20 and 30 mm guns. The kit part has a very seriously over thick flange on the bottom mating surface. Makes it look like an armoured piece or whatnot. In real life this was very thin and I would recomend sanding the flange off and replacing with maybe 10thou sheet plastic? I thought you of all people would want some honest advice here instead of just yes yes.... great job,awesome,etc? Because it is...awesome that is.

98Wrangler Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 I think I'll take up stamp collecting. There are no other words in any vocabulary/language beyond what has already been said. Ditto on all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 Thanks for the kind words......................There are so many Fw-190 expert-en out there that its hard to make one without taking scrutiny, or even make anything different. There are some great models on this site so any compliments here are compliments indeed. mywifehatesmodels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
