He is more of a disruption than help but at least shows some interest in my modeling. Nick Out2gtcha and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I run about 5 projects simultaneously at different levels of completion. Hi Fillipo I am doing a straight A-8 of JG54. The cat is not quite black but a more fitting Gunship Grey.

Cheetah11 Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 While waiting for paint to dry on the F-16 I decided to start with the Fw 190 The first thing was to add blast tubes to the wings. The outer tubes did not look right. I realized that Revell had made the cut out for the outer guns to fit the center of the wing where on the real FW the guns are below the center of the wing.

Cheetah11 Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I added an ignition harness to the engine. I know the BMW 801 has two spark plug leads per cylinder but since I will build mine with the cowling closed ,not much will be seen behind the fan anyway. Just a bit more to add a bit of interest. The engine is pretty good out of the box and possibly the best radial I have seen. The Tamiya Corsair is probably better but I have not had eyes on one. And painted Cheers Nick Edited January 1, 2020 by Cheetah11 Spelling Rick Griewski, Azgaron, alain11 and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheetah11 Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) I have closed up the wing and joined the two fuselage half's. I wanted to attach the engine and cowling to the rest of the fuselage before fitting the wings as I think this way will be easier to get the cowl fitted. I had to sand the rocker covers a bit to get the engine to fit. After fitting all the pieces around the engine I think the Hasegawa kit is easier if you want to fit the cowling closed. The Revel kit will be great if you want to open the cowling. The Revell kit has some very good features and apart from the above observation not much to choose between the kits. Trouble in paradise? The difference between the Revell and Hasegawa IP . I will have to think a bit about how to proceed with the IP. Maybe cast a copy of the Hasegawa IP if it fits.

AlanG Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Looking good. Bit of a difference between those two IPs. Best i invest in an AM replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
