Ok, got it sorted. I ended up scoring the join seam till it was loose. Then replied and taped up till dry....harv

 

Very good surgery Harv! 👍
Now all angles on the wings and tail are fully correct! 

[harv]

I'm ok with the front now......harv

[Kaireckstadt]

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! 

[harv]

Kai, not all primed. Just in spots to check. Have more masking to , then prime....harv

[harv]

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

Priming looks good Harv!

That’s really sh… that the engine became loose.

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?

 

[harv]

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

those pesky German mechanics with their red oxide primer

[harv]

😆 Actually  Martin,  those will be hidden with the underling cannons

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

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!   )

[harv]

I'll check it sir ! Don't kill any more puppies.....harv

[Martinnfb]

they are looking right into your soul Harvey

Edit: except for the one in the lower right corner, he lost his faith in humanity altogether

Isn’t the engine supposed to be like that? You know, thrust vectoring, and the like. The A-5 could roll right better than any other WW II fighter! 🤪

Cheers,    
Wolf

[harv]

Never thought of that Wolf !...🤣......harv

[Martinnfb]

[harv]

Yes you are, my friend.  

[DocRob]

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

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

[harv]

Ok Martin, are the puppies safe now ??....harv

[Kaireckstadt]

Good surgery on the engine Harv! 

Is it easy to glue it back to the rear engine part?

Looking very good Harv, if Martin does that again we will go and let his tyres down…………

[harv]

Well I was planning on doing some AB work today, but one step outside told me no. Missouri heat and humidity 😩. But I did bring my AB in and will give a good cleaning......harv

Why not airbrushing, more humidity means less dust mostly, guess how I know.

Cheers Rob

[harv]

Rob, I do all my AB in the garage. Old and no insulation and hotter than hell......harv
