Hs129B2/R3

[JeroenPeters]

Mapping out the composition 

 

[Martinnfb]

Slowly but surely. The kettenkrad by itself is a pure magic.

[JeroenPeters]

Printed the final bits. Hatches and the brace for the gun barrel.

also adding snow to the corner of the base.

[JeroenPeters]

Cleaned a few parts up

 

[JeroenPeters]

Getting there!

Here are some of the 3D drawn and printed hatches. 
 

 

[JeroenPeters]

Scratches and patches

 

[JeroenPeters]

It’s all about the base

 

[JeroenPeters]

More weathering. Still much more to do. 
Also added the instruments to the side of the cowlings.

Yes, pretty cool huh? Actually there were more planes that had this.

3D printed mk103 cannon installed. Including the 3d printed barrel brace. It even hinges.

So when in action the cannon flipped into the belly and the barrel fitted into the ring?am I missing the cover?

No. The gun only flipped out when serviced. The cover i left of. Why? Because the cover was left of in service often. Like on this white K

Great detail, just reading up the differences between mk103 and mk108’s as used on the Fw190 A-8 R2. 

the mk 108 uses 30x90RB mm ammunition.

the mk 103 uses 30x184B mm ammunition.

So 103 more punch for your money. Toying with idea of adding them on to my Border Fw 190 build…….

Meaning maintenance?In combat it retrieved to the belly.

Correct. I have both original complete rounds. The mo108 is pretty easy to find. The mk103 not easy.

[JeroenPeters]

If you look at reference photos you’ll see the plugs securing the gun in closed position dangling on chords.

 

[JeroenPeters]

Almost there. Need to attach all the hatches. Add an aerial wire. And some other small bits. Aah, and the gunsight.

Note the hinging PE nightmare engine hood on the Kettenkraftrad 

 

[belugawhaleman]

Amazing work! Too bad about the base though.

Thnx! Actually i’m not using the damaged base. This is a different one 

[Martinnfb]

Always a joy to peek in. 

[JeroenPeters]

So i fudged up and accidentally threw away the gunsight parts…

Guess i’ll have to design and print my own now…

[JeroenPeters]

First steps of the gunsight. Inside this arrangement I will place a Quickboost Revi 12 gunsight.

On the side I will add two thin wires that go through the small holes of the louvres.

You did that on purpose! Just to play with your new 3D printer😄
