    Revell Fw 190 Sprue Shots (Testshots)

    in LSP Discussion

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    I'm following this discussion with great interest as the Fw 190 is my all time favorite that I have been studying all my life.

    I am happy to see the effort put out by Revell, but just looking at the test shots, which obviously can be altered, there are some problems. Some of these have already been discussed, but there are some other points that have been missed. For instance, the shape of the fin and rudder is not a constant arching curve, the fin has a very distinctive sharper angle to it. Another thing I noticed is the landing gear leg oleo is fully extended, which is not correct for an airplane sitting on the ground, especially having a lot of weight on it.

    One of my favorite passions is the upper fuselage gun cowl. EVERYONE gets that wrong....they are always too pronounced and bulbous. We at Eagle Editions have produced correction parts, originally for the Hasegawa 1/32 Fw 190.

    These parts were mastered from original parts, not from drawings and if the Revell Fw 190 F-8 is correct in shape, our EagleParts should fit properly.

    Here is a list of the parts that would enhance this new kit:

    EP#45-32 spinner and common prop blades, 9-12067A

    EP#42-32 spinner and prop blades with external weights, 9-12153A

    EP#47-32 spinner and large wooden prop blades, 9-12176A

    The above are the three props authorized by BMW for the Fw 190

    EP#48-32 Main tire and wheel set for the A-7, A-8, A-9, F-8, and F-9 and early Dora series

    EP#49-32 Correct gun cowl for the A-7, A-8, A-9, F-8 and F-9.

    EP#50-32 Conversion set for the A-9 or A-8, F-9 and F-8 equipped with the BMW TU engine

    EP#51-32 Museum quality late Fw 190 A and F cockpit

    EP#52-32 Balloon tail wheel suitable for all late Fw 190s and early D-9s

    Dear John,

    all the best and hope for a quick post surgical recovery.

    What I have seen in your pictures is wonderful.

    I like the idea to sell the nice tail and turret separately. 

    Kind regards

    Alfons

    Dear Pastor John,

     

    I am delighted about your intend on preparing a Ju 388 in 1/32nd scale. Please add me to your order list.

     

    For your project I can recommend the booklet "Bildmappe der Ju 388 der Junkers-Werke" by Dr. Peter Korrell. He 

    mentioned that he got these excellent photos from Dipl.-Ing. Karl Kössler.

    Included are 40 photos (40% unpublished before) of Ju 388 L-1 Werknummer 340083 (RT-KC) and Werknummer 340084 (RT-KD).

     

    With respect to engines: Ch. Vernaleken/M. Handig mention in their book "Junkers Ju 388" (I have the German version) on page 92 that due to the increase of "Volldruckhöhe" (sorry) of BMW 801 J-0 versus BMW 801D an increas of diameter of cooling fan becomes necessary (how much?). They quote BMW Strömungsmaschinen-Bericht Nr. 7000 von 18.03.1944, NASM MF R 3448 F 1161 & MTU Archiv. In this moment I seem to recall that Deutsches Museum München has a BMW 801 J-0 in display.

     

    Cheers Alfons

    I have oredered it, too. But then I have seen EDUARD cat.no.: 532025 Bf 109 G-6 engine. It comes among others

    with complete engine housing which could be displayed open or closed. Does anybody knows if the shape is correct?

    o.k. it is about 35 €     ;-(

    Hi Mirek

    there is a V-1 in 1/35th scale from accurate armour, launching ramp also.

    Azimut has a more complete launching ramp, too.
