Kaireckstadt Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Me too Harv! Looks really great! Now on to the paintshop? I‘ve seen that it is primed already isn’t it? Curious to see your progress! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Kai, not all primed. Just in spots to check. Have more masking to , then prime....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 Ok, she is all primed ! Next will be some pre shading. One big problem came up, the engin has come loose. Any ideas on how to glue it ? It won't come out....harv 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would add some plastic pieces to the inside where they are barely visible from outside and glue the engine to it. No chance to remove the outer ring on the engine? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv Posted August 6, 2021 Author Share Posted August 6, 2021 The outer ring isn't on yet. I went ahead and broke all the push rods off. With the fan in place you really can't see anything anyway. Onward and up....harv 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Harv Nice to see your FW190 back on the bench and getting some love. Looking so good and waiting for her to hit the paint shop Keep 'em comin Peter 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Excuses excuses , you won't get away that easily my friend. C'mon Harvey that cowling and the wing fairing needs some love. You know how I feel about Fockewulfs. ( Every time you won't fill a seam on 190, God kills one puppy. The cutest one! ) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The A-5 could roll right better than any other WW II fighter! 🤪 Cheers, Wolf 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocRob Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Wolf beat me to it. These German engineers had their ways to get the planes turn tighter . If there is no way to remove the cowlings, without colateral damage, I would drill a hole from the underside, where the engine mount should be, big enough, to insert a glue brush. Filling the hole is the easier part then. Cheers Rob 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Harv Not sure what to do but as of late, everyone is seeming to have an uphill battle with their builds. ❗ I have no idea why as to why. Just go slow and as Rob point out: without colateral damage. 🤞 Keep 'em comin Peter 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
