Rick K Posted June 24, 2014 Author Share Posted June 24, 2014 TAKING A BREAK This challenging build has been a device of severe angst. When I lay awake at night thinking about this build, then it's time to pack away for awhile. When my head gets cleared up I will decide whats next. Thinking Uber/Shake 'n Bake/OOB.

Rick K Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 BACK FROM THE SHELF O' DOOM I received my FW190D9 "Tall Tail" from Hasegawa. I cannot say enough positive comments about HAG customer service. I have placed orders for parts (sprues) on multiple occasions and they have easily filled my order. Cut at the panel line. After assembly of the tail and tail wheel the new "Tall Tail" was grafted to the fuselage using stryene strips for locators and 5 minute epoxy. The white card is a shim. Fill/sand/scribe required later. Going to let this cure for a few days before I touch it. Zero77 and Wurzacher 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick K Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) PROPELLER ADJUSTMENT Not happy with the spindly Planet Model supplied prop blades. I pulled some Hasegawa FW190 prop blades from my scrap box. These are beefier and look closer to images appearing in the Smith/Creek's FW190 Vol. 1, pp 253-259. A coat of RLM 70 followed by a shot of silver on the blade collar. Using my PropMaster I aligned and glued the blades on the hub. Prop boss dry fitted. Another test fit with the engine cowling.

stevegallacci Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) Have the kit as well, and want to do the V-18 in its three versions, as an 'A-0 using the PMC kit, the 'U1 like you are doing, and as a Ta152 H prototype. Local guy up here (Seattle) did the 'U1 a couple years back, nice job. I would have dressed up the conversion DB603 radiator group instead of faking it with the Jumo unit though, different on the outside as well as the inside.

abbadur Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Rick, I am pleased that you are proceeding with this built. One question: What kind of stand you are using four pictures back? Alfons Zero77 and Rick K 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lovely finish. Faking it? Not faking anything. It's FICE. *I assure you there will be many more "inaccuracies" on this build. *See FICE Edited February 19, 2016 by Rick K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
