dodgem37 Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good stuff. Well done. Loving this. '. . . but are internal parts either RLM02 or anodised metal? RLM 02. Same as the wheel bays. Maybe some of this: for this: Sincerely, Mark Chek, airscale and scvrobeson 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Just way too cool. Always interesting to see the multiple pieces of foil smooth out completely into one seamless piece. Matt TwoHands and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted June 21, 2020 Author Share Posted June 21, 2020 Evening all Not a huge amount to report as only had limited time at the bench in the last few days, but a few more bits done.. First the rudder pedals – here are the main parts from the PE I designed.. ..these were folded up and can be seen at the top, while all the other components that make up the complex casting and the two layers of heel stop are below.. ..these were assembled so that the main bits were all together.. ..and then assembled with some footstraps from lead.. I need to find some better references for the pistons and brackets that these fit to before going any further.. moving to the radiator – you can see on the front face there are some kind of structure at top and bottom, with the upper one having some kind of thing on it – I thought it was maybe an engine logo, but settled on some sort of filler cap.. I sound vague, because this is all I have to go on.. ..I painted and added the PE radiator fronts and the spoke type things and made up the upper and lower shapes as best I could from tracings from that photo.. ..they look a lighter colour to me so tried to make a sort of anodised / RLM 02 style colour.. ..and what they look like on the model.. ..and that’s it – told you it wasn’t a lot TTFN Peter Bil, Starfighter, BlackCanopy and 19 others 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Vincent Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 On 6/18/2020 at 5:07 PM, airscale said: one thing I am not sure about are the internal colours for things like the inside of the cowl – on the P51 it is interior green or zinc chromate, on a 190 I assume it’s RLM66 in the cockpit, but are internal parts either RLM02 or anodised metal? Any thoughts welcome Given the time and the fact that it is a prototype, I'd go with RLM02. Focke Wulf never used anodized metal anyways, only Junkers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levier Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The F-8 at NASM has an alodined looking bare metal in the aft section interior but this may have been a subcontractor not F-W proper. airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squizzy 78 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I’m obviously doing a different hobby, because nothing I’m doing looks anywhere near this good, nor will it ever look this good! Amazing work! MikeMaben and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick K Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I see stuff like this and I feel my efforts are minuscule. Once in awhile I take a long look at my SOD 1:32 Planet conversion 190C and for a brief moment feel inspired to bring it to the bench. Made lots of build decisions and I realize how much of mine is incorrect. I'm using artistic license while you are executing an aero engineering approach. When and if I do finish my 190C I'll pass on close up photos. I'm geeking out on the engineering and exquisite detail on this. Your approach to exhaust build has solved a "how am I gonna make this sucker fit?" issue on my 190C. Thank you. A joy to watch.
