Mal_Belford Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) Allright.... Lets see, out of the ashes in to the fire.....in a way... Ive just finnished my other project that have been on the non lsp section of my FW190A8R2 Oscar Bosch Diorama...small finnishing touches left... But as aive said ave allready started little on thsi one, but now its about to start..... The kit is Hasegawa FW190A7, realized on thing, in fact it is the same kit, exept if doing a A7, you need to backdate it with small modifications, but we are not going for that, We are going for another FW190A8R2, Allright over to the build. As those follow me freq, they know that i buy secondhand unbuilt kits, money saver big time, and also leaves me room to put effort on good quality tools, paint, and so on instead that actually help my moddeling. Well there is some thing to take in concern with buying second hand over ebay...post handling the package.....the package were damage, and yes off course things are damaged, this one is the worst, oh well i wont let that take me down, start repairing.... firs ive glued that crack and pressed them togehter so that plastic bubbles, that way it creates a solid joint with models own plastic, belivie me on this one, it will be strong, Mals Way. Ive used a platic card piece and ca gued with slight tension, then hot water so it reduces stress in the plastic and get back to right shape, Perfect, dryfitted the engine inside and it is perfect fit, now to check that all shape is correct, need to take care of thees things in a early stage, much easier to fixem now than later..... yep, look at them stressmarks and that crack....this is going to be perfect....and solid.... Yep...this is straight on and looks real good....now let it rest tomorrow,,,, One thing..the indevid im going for is Werner Conradt, II.(Sturm)/JG 300...one interesting thing i like is the number one, also i really like the artist Arkadiusz Wrobel interpret of this one, ive used his interpret of Oscar bosh also....i like them tones and style in painting... one thing paralell with this build upcoming days ill be finnishing one another build, namely my Mrs Bonnie P51.... /Mal Edited July 9, 2014 by Mal_Belford Rick K, TonyDS1970, TaffyMan and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last Wurger was excellent and I'm sure this will be, also. I'll be following along! John Mal_Belford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 10, 2014 Author Share Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) Thanks John. Shure need it, ill have to inventory rest of the kit so i dont get any more bad surprises llke that engine cowling, ill airbrush florys on that after ive fixed it to see that it is flawless, yep florys wash,better than primer or paint in this case, just to see that the surface is perfect, much easier to strip it afterwards. just use water and dish liquid to remove. Must check it properly in the early stage, im in for riveting this one to, same as the previous one, it ads to the whole for me. /Mal Edited July 10, 2014 by Mal_Belford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mal_Belford Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Allright. Remeber what i said about using wash to check for errors, ive used it several times this way....when checked just water and dishliquid to remove. just to confirm what i allready knew, but it need to be checked anyway, looks good, like never happened.... /mal TonyDS1970 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mywifehatesmodels Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Mal, The covers for the cowl gun channels were specific to the individual aircraft. Some of them had them and others did not. I'm on my phone right now so I can't see the profile well enough to say. maybe you when I get back to my computer it will be more clear or, maybe someone else will know the answer.

mywifehatesmodels Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Okay. I just looked at it in the full version and it appears that they are not shown installed on the profile. However, without any photographs of the real plane it's hard to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) That illustration is just the artist interptetation.Is the same one that did the Oscar Bosch also not covered. But they were.The info about this indevid with actual photos is sparse.took me several hours google up the pilot who flew this aircraft.found it at last, on a site that is addons for PC WW2 Simulator IL2 sturmovic....and when i got the name on this one, then found some more on other sites. it seems he died during test flight -44, (according to one other site) stationed Lobnitz... http://www.asisbiz.com/Luftwaffe/Jagdgeschwader-JG300-Kills.html Edited July 12, 2014 by Mal_Belford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Allright. Some work done today. That seat is thinned so it looks more right......took a while... That cowlings locks the upper front ones is removed with putty.... The exhaust pipes are done, also thinned them edges, the brass tubes in place to... This were done earlier...next stop for this one get new bearings made out of brasstube..the engine casting is ok, so them ignition wires wont be seen much when everything is in place, but can just be sligtly visible behind the fan and it is there..... /Mal TonyDS1970 and Volture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal_Belford Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 bearing in place... Dryfitting it all....It llok like a smal gap on the fans bearing near the rod...it is an illusion only, it is tight fit... Ive thinned the blades slightly and sharpened the edges so it creates thins blades on the fan.... /Mal TonyDS1970 and Volture 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Peterpools Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Mal Nice fix on the cowl and some mighty good progress on the engine as well. What did you use for the ignition wires? Was it thin plastic tubing? Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
