dodgem37 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Thank you, Brothers. The pictures are back in all of my threads. That's good news. Anyway. Been adding stuff to the inner flaps so they don't look so bare. The flap down angle should be a maximum of 60 degrees. Not what Hasegawa offers. So I cut (scored) and pasted the tab to a corrected angle of 60 degrees.. Better. Put in a new camera. I see it still needs some clean-up. Made some flap stuff. Little buttons are neoprene stand-offs. A couple of rods. I don't know if this aircraft had this detail. But they were in the reference I was using so I put them in to jazz the space up a bit. Thank you for looking and liking. Sincerely, Mark Uncarina, BiggTim, LSP_Kevin and 15 others 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Thank you, Brothers. Put in a little more time. Performed a re-do and some original stuff. Removed the .015 rods. And replaced with .010 rods. .020 solder as hinges. Thought I would open up the storage bin. Non-regulation depth. Opened up the 'D' shaped space. The antenna wire enters into there. Apologies for the squiggly thing. Overall canopy work. Same. Canopy top structural wire connection. Drilled a hole through the canopy and the center structure to thread the antenna wire out the other side. Detail of pulley housing for antenna wire and canopy bottom structural wire connection. Canopy in place and slid back. Canopy 'glass' flexes and stays in position. Those familiar with the Fw190 canopy condition will understand. Thank you for looking and liking.

dodgem37 Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Thank you, Brothers. I've been asked to define the wire I'm using for the hydraulic brake lines, main leg bracing/retraction strut, and blue/red tubing for the landing gear legs and engine. The purple wire is beading wire, found at Michaels. I'm sure it can be found at any Craft store. The blue tubing is insulation stripped from copper wire. I don't recall where I got it. It was either from a computer or a tube television. I used the same blue insulation on the first engine detailing project. Here I've used blue and green stripped insulation as wire ties. The brass wire is beading wire, from Michaels, and the retraction wire is monofilament sewing machine thread from a fabric store. This is the same red insulation I used on the first engine detailing project before I redid it with Albion Alloys. I believe I got this insulated wire from Radio Shack years ago. I just strip it off of the wire. This is from the first post on Page 4 of this thread: The brass engine distributor wire is 32 gauge bead wire from Michaels. They have a ton of different gauges and colors. Nothing insulated that I recall. The blue/white insulated copper wire I think I took from a dead analog tv a couple of years ago. The red insulation is from 32 gauge single strand insulated wire, I think from Radio Shack. Otherwise this may do: https://www.omegaeng.cz/pptst_eng/TFIR_CH_CI_CC_CY_AL.html The purple wire for the brake line is 32 or 30 gauge painted wire. I think it may be bead wire also. Thank you for looking and liking. Sincerely, Mark TorbenD, Rocat, Gazzas and 20 others 22 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
