Kagemusha Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Moved as requested, it has to be no more than 25% done, which I figure is the case. Don't know how I missed it before, outstanding work Mark, those wheels, wow! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi Mark! Is it just me , but all the photos are quote: unavailable... Alain Gazzas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 2, 2020 Author Share Posted January 2, 2020 Alain, Apologies for the late response. I've been on Holiday without Internet access. All of my photos for all of my builds are hosted on Photobucket. All of the photos on all of my threads are blank. I know there have been a lot of past complaints about Photobucket, but this is the first time I've had an issue. A really big one, unfortunately. I'll be moving from it to something else as soon as I figure it all out. To what I don't know. I'm not savvy about image hosting. I do need a recommendation if anyone would like to do so. Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Alain Gadbois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 No problem Mark, no internet can be a good thing! I use Imgur, very simple and free too. I wanted to check as reference your photos of the early style Fw190 wheels, because I need to model some for my V21 conversion. Alain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 Got the Imgur thing semi-figured out. Hope this is what you're interested in. If you study what I've done compared to the photo you will see my error. The 3 inner discs should be indentations. I misinterpreted the image and didn't pick up the misinterpretation until after I took the photo.

dodgem37 Posted January 12, 2020 Author Share Posted January 12, 2020 (edited) Thank you, Brothers. I've been doing a little of this and a little of that. Some re-do and some new stuff. I don't know why these images are so big. Anyway. Reworked the engine. New distributor wires from monofilament fishing line, I see one moved, I'll fix that, bolt heads, and something-or-other on the piston heads with white rod on the piston face. Painting clean-up is necessary throughout. Added detail. All together now. Opened this indentation, which ended up creating more work. I hadn't noticed that the ribs were tapered until after I installed them. I'll see what I can do about that later. Opening the indentation meant that I had to fill a void. In a dyslexic moment I made two of the same shell ejection chutes. I'll have to make the one on the right over again. Just as well, it's construction is horrid. Working on the engine mount. Shell ejector chute opening. The top and bottom of the Instrument Panel aren't connected, as Hasegawa has molded it, so I ground out the back but left the sides attached. Threw some wiring in for effect. Front. White Prismacolor pencil. I'll go over the sweep hands and airplane with some white oil paint so they stand out. Removed the old wiring and replaced it with new. Paint stains everywhere. Top of left rudder pedal broke off and had to be super glued back on. The reason it's crooked. Made a strap from tape. I see I have to paint the cable ties. Wiring is Detail Master 1/24 Ignition Wires. See below. http://www.detailmaster.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Session_ID=8716fd055d9c68f6e665f7d85916e1e2&Screen=PROD&Store_Code=detailmaster&Product_Code=DM-1024&Category_Code=DM-IGW Comes in red, too. Junction Box. Another Junction Box. Bulkhead with shell chutes. Old news, but since it's original link is broken I'd thought I throw it in. Thanks for looking.

dodgem37 Posted January 15, 2020 Author Share Posted January 15, 2020 Thank you, Brothers. Finished up the Cockpit and Engine Mount Compartment. A couple of squashed solder balls as fasteners. Black electrical junction box, wire, and tape clasp. Added a switch and crank. Finished up the firewall and roughed in some piping. Empty slots will receive yellow and red wiring. Engine Mount to Firewall mounting connection made up. Another view. Luckily it fit. Another test fit. Vent hardware. Added cabling. It will go through the pulley in the next photo. Pulley. Drilled hole a top to thread the cable. Hole across from pulley is an ERROR, ERROR, ERROR, WILL ROBINSON! Or is it DANGER!? The other hole will accept the three wires from above. Center Engine Mount support structure. Bunch of rods and handle around the canopy crank. Fitted. Thanks for looking.
