LSP_Ray Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 I am starting with the engines in my build, too. Almost the same ones, for the Do335. Trying to figure out colors right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Nice choice Scott, I’ve always admired the design of the ‘Owl’, I love the canted vertical stabilizers. Just a neat looking plane. It’s so sorely tempting - must resist, must resist! Great start, looking forward to your progress! jimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott_t Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 Just to show I am making some progress ...... I have both engines assembled ......some components can be removed for paint and I left off a couple of lines on each for painting them separately (call out for red and blue on those. No that I am looking at these .....I should of rotated them and got pictures from the other end ....will do that later and post them.

From what I can see, the overall block is a black/silver mix with some components as black so I'll start with that. -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll venture back out there and grab some pics for reference and inspiration ! -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffH Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Looks great so far Scott. Is there piston detail inside the engine blocks like on the Ta-152? My Trumpeter P-38 blocks have a bit of space. I'm planning on putting extra weight in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Jeff, Yes, they have the pistons moulded in each cylinder head and the piston rods from one side interface with the corresponding rods from the other side. Kind of cool but they will never be seen again once assembled. ZM provides a metal weight that is located in one of the fuselage fuel tanks located behind the cockpit to provide the weight to keep the nose down. -Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
