IPanzer Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi all, I started building this hasegawa FW 190A-6 "Checker Nose" in august. I decided to build my first 1/32 FW 190 with the engine detail being shown, so I think this would be a very tough work and will last for about 3 to 4 mouths. I bought hasegawa's old tool 1/32 FW 190 (ST6) just for the entire BMW801 engine detail. There are a lot of mistakes on the old tool 190 but better than nothing. I reconstracted it and I think it is much better now. Here are some photos of progress. This is the original engine kits I cut the "push rod" Some details I added The original crank box of new tool (left) and old tool (right) I cut off the old tool magneto and put the new tool magneto on the old crank box The bolts on the crank box The ignition circle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPanzer Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Push rods The air intaking pipes Some details I added This part is hollowed out I added the fuel pipes, and I used a fire extinguisher from a 1/35 tiger to make the oil filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allok Posted September 12, 2010 Share Posted September 12, 2010 That's a real work of art. Shame you won't be able to see any of it behind the fan, or are you going to have some of the cowls off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPanzer Posted September 12, 2010 Author Share Posted September 12, 2010 Konrad, that is superb! Where did you get the placards from? Kev Thank you, Kev What you mean placards are the decals I get from an old 1/48 dragon's FW 190G-3 of mine. I think it is suitable for the nameplates on the engine. That's a real work of art. Shame you won't be able to see any of it behind the fan, or are you going to have some of the cowls off? Thanks, Allok. Yeah, I'm gonna have the both side cowls opened, to show the engine in a real way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPanzer Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thank you guys! Hope you enjoy it. Nice brass work! it looks great How did you bend the tubing for the intake pipes? They are all perfectly the same and not collapsed at the bend. Hello ron, Those intaking pipes are made of no brass tube but brass bar, so it wouldn't collapse when you bend it. But it is really much tougher to bend a brass bar than a tube. Konrad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
