Rainer Hoffmann Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 In this scale everything can be done, or so it seems. But it takes a true master to do it ... Phantastic! Und wie waren die Käsespätzle? Cheers Rainer 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Boy, does all of this look good, or what? Are the cards' colors printed from your printer or are the cards store bought? If they are store bought, do you have a link? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Antonio Argudo, 109 and Anthony in NZ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Posted June 4, 2021 Author Share Posted June 4, 2021 Hi all, I finished the armor plates, primed them and applied a coat of red oxide primer. Then added some screws. For glueing the pates to the seat rails I added angles to the MDF jig that allow for a precise placement of the plates. And then the inevitably dry fitting .... Bye for now, Bernd.

Rainer Hoffmann Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Absolutely brilliant work! I'm not familiar with the FW 190 (nor with any other WWII subject ), so I just ask: Where these plates really painted bright red? It seems a bit strange for a military airplane. Forgive my ignorance, Bernd ... Cheers Rainer 109 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgive my ignorance, Bernd ... Cheers Rainer Hi Rainer the plating were 6mm-steel plates manufactured by KRUPP ( probably socalled "Wotan starr" armorsteel). Steel commonly received a red oxide primer. In late war production the paintwork was often limited to the absolutely necessary measures for surface protection. Color looks more red in the photos !

109 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Hi all, I decided to join the subassemblies of the rear upper deck and the seat rails-armor plates. After careful aligning these parts for some 30 mins. I joined them with a few drops of Loctite 480. After that came some cleaning up, de-greasing and masking/airbrushing RLM 66. I settled on RAL 7015 for RLM 66, it´s not too dark which would absorb too much light in the cockpit tub. Antonio Argudo, D.B.

109 Posted July 24, 2021 Author Share Posted July 24, 2021 Next are the Gerätebänke or side consoles in the cockpit. Proved to be more tricky than expected including researching the exact geometry. I hope I have it right so far. I started by making paper templates and a styrene template. Then I cut some 2 mm MDF and made the final one. White styrene strips were used for final adjustments to make it fit properly. Antonio Argudo, MDuv, Landrotten Highlander and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
