colt6 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 As I'm building my Game Over dio, I need a little brake, or more something much easier. I think it's better to think about how to do it, then hurry and mess it up :-) So why not a little Revell Fw 190 F-8 Dio, for what I have everything. I started with the Eduard BMW 801 Engine and the more I build it, the more I fell in love with that Eduard stuff. Easy to build and really clever engineered. The Revell engine is absolutely not bad, but compared to the Eduard...... After Priming I love always the point, when thing's comes up to live with a little color. the wiring is also very easy and clever done by Eduard. Just with very flexible PE parts. Sorry, had to do it! Lol! Thanks Arno 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt6 Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Very nice work Arno... I've been waiting for this to appear on the Forum. Was there very much resin to remove from the Eduard parts? S Thanks! No, there was just a little resin to remove. Quick and easy. Arno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wackyracer Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Great work Arno. You've got as much aftermarket for this one as the other dio! I thought this was suppose to be easy? Joking aside I have this kit as well so following to see how you get on. Aaron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkranias Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Very nice work on the 801 I am tempted to buy the engine and build as a stand alone (Power Egg) project. I have a Revell 190 and will be on my bench soon. I need to finish current projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pappy915 Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks great,how is the kit? Are the panel lines resest? Might have to pick one up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolboxx Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Great start the detail in that 801 you have achieved looks amazing I too have the f8 and want to mod to a8 any ideas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wumm Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 It's a very good kit... Dimensions are spot-on. Panel lines are recessed and, except for a couple of hatches, all in the right places. The main obstacle to making an A-8 from the kit is the lack of underwing bulges for the outer wing guns, although references can be found for A-8's without these fitted. It would be possible to source these parts from a Hasegawa kit and graft them on. Would there be enough interest for a possible Group build of this kit a little later down the track I wonder?

colt6 Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Ok, so I stop, after installing the exhausts and a few more wires for the Moment and start with the cockpit. Please don't look to exactly, I know its full of errors Thanks Arno 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt6 Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 Thanks for the compliments, they really help. Just build the Eduard cockpit and again the fit is great, really love that stuff. It helps people like me, to make something look cool. Or you have to scratch build that stuff and this is a number to big for me. First time for me, to build real PE stuff, so I tried the Eduard flaps, was alittle terrible at the first look, so lot of mistakes and erors, but I think it will work for my Fw 190.I try to learn and practice! Lol Found also a base plate and try to made a first layout. What do you think? It should be a scene in Italy. Thanks Arno 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormer Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I'm trying hard to spot "all" the mistakes you are referring to, but I can't find any. It looks spot on - especially your engine! Love it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis.E Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 In typical Swiss fashion, your work is quite beautiful and flawless Arno - don't be so hard on yourself! You have given me something to strive for in this regard! Regards, Dennis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colt6 Posted May 5, 2016 Author Share Posted May 5, 2016 Nearly finished the Tamiya Simca 5 and painted the figures. I still try to learn painting figures and what I must say is: a resin figure is always the money worth, that they cost more. For a pro it's sure no problem to pant all kind of figures equal, but for me its so much easier with the details of a resin mold. So the pilot and the Helferinnen are injection molds and the mechanic is resin. Of corse the Simca 5 was a pleasure to build, just say: Tamiya :-) Just add a few bits in the trunk and made it a little dirty and dusty, like it could look in Italy And on the dio: Thank's for your nice words, it gives me feeling that I'm on the right way Arno 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
