fam43 Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Hallo, well I started a Sabre Mk6 of the German Luftwaffe with the Martin Baker ejection seat conversion. Now I am still looking for an early Martin Baker resin part or some pics of it at least. So I decided to ad just another prototype on the way to the TA 152 while waiting. The FW 190 V32-U1 was often mistaken as the forerunner of the TA 153. This is nonsens because the TA 153 plans were cancelled months before the FW 190 V32-U1 appeared. The v32 started with a DB 603A augmented by an exhaust driven turbochar.ger and was a lookalike to the V-18 and V-30. Disapointing performance of this combination saw the supercharger gone and replaced by a DB 603G with an enhanced mechanical charger. The tail section was lengthed and new larger fin (even larger than the Ta one) was added. A wide span wing replaced the regular A-wing. This will be the bird I want to built. The V32 followed the V18 as it was again modified getting the TA 152 H1 wing and a Jumo 213 E engine to become just another TA-152 prototype. I plan to use up all that was left from my earlier FW-TA projects - "patchwork". William Green has two pics in his "Focke Wulrf 190". Poor FW it always rains in nothern Germany Here I found some dubious drawings: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php?topic=32366.0 You can recognice two decade old leftovers and the outer wings of the PC-TA. I marauded my sparebox and started: Edited September 11, 2011 by fam43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 After reading some background information it became clear the PC-wing couldn't be used. I cut off most of it and replaced it by parts of an left over A-version wing reduced in width. Agood opportunity to install some undercarriage wheel-well details.

fam43 Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hi all together, I spent a full month with modelmeetings and holidays and did very litte to further my FW 190. Just a tiny progress. The enginecover and the area aft of the cockpit got some attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fam43 Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Progress is very slow. Had to built the complete lower cowl from bits and pieces because the oldtool Dora cowl didn't fit the fuselage. The oil cooler is made from the good ol Monogram P47 cowl as I did with the V-16 and V-18. There is much more putty and sanding in need to blend things togerther.

Thomas Lund Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I was just about to say "Frankensteins monster" but I'm sure it will be no monster when finished :-) Impressive piece of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted November 25, 2011 Author Share Posted November 25, 2011 I puttied and sanded for days to get some shape to the bits and pieces. Next some spray putty will reveal any flaws in sanding. I hope so! Thousands of engravings wait to get me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fam43 Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 Now it was time for the Frankenwulfer to visit a beautyfarm to get some makeup in form of a thick coat of primer. All in all it dosen't look to bad. Hours of filling and sanding have paid off. During drying times I did the engine cowl minus the flaps. The underside looks ready too.
