Eduard Fw 190 A-7 & Eduard Fw 190 D-9 Diorama

[handiabled]

The paint on the engine really makes the detail pop. I hope you can get the fuselage and wing root marriage without any gaps or steps with the seams

[Green KreationZ]

I hope so too haha. I’ll be getting the detail work done on the engine tomorrow night

[Green KreationZ]

Well after many many hours on the engine for the A-7... I call it done!

[handiabled]

Magnificent job on the painted detail you added to that BMW 801! Wonderful work in this scale with that kind of detail work and paint.

[Green KreationZ]

Thank you both! I am pretty happy with how it turned out.

Hey Keith. I posted the video but it shows up as a link and functions the same way as the way you did it. I clicked on this icon in the tool bar :  and then posted the link from the video into it and it showed up like this.

I'm assuming that's exactly how you did it?

Nice work. Great details.

Yep, that’s what I tried. Doesn’t seem to actually post the video. Just the link to the video

   I seem to remember when using that button that an actual video box would pop up which is why I was thrown off when it didn't this time. 

[keavdog]

Maybe because it's not youtube?


The embed video says it supports imgur GIFV...hmmm

Another update:

Here is another engine underway which will be displayed next to the A-7 in a shipping crate. 




A-7 + crate engine (A-4) 







things are starting to shape up….

[keavdog]

Looking good. And sufficiently busy!

  This is indeed looking SWELL so far Keith. I will say this. If you can address the fit issue with the fuselage fit at the gun firewall now on the A-7 it won't be hard to take care of. You may want to heat these areas up and adjust them inwards slightly to ensure a good fit to the cowl gun back wall against the sides of the fuselage in these areas. Test fit the windscreen into place to make sure you'll get a flush fit there as well.

Thanks Joe! Luckily for me, that’s just a test fit on the A-7. It’s held together with a clamp there. It actually looks like it will fit into place perfectly. So much better fitting than the D-9 fortunately

Thank you my friend. Have a few days off right now to really hit the bench hard. 

[Green KreationZ]

Another update.

Engine hoist is roughly together. Will need a few more bits on it and paint. Based it on what the Luftwaffe seemed to use:

[406 Silverado]

I can already tell that this is going to be a VERY cool project Keith.

Thanks bud! Got the A-7 together last night. I had a bit of a struggle, but made it work. Minimal putty work to be done on the fuselage. 

Engine crate completed: 

[Green KreationZ]

And…. The engine lift is done. I also added some tarps per the direction of tcoat method 

[keavdog]

That looks great!

[stikpusher]

The chain looks much much better ow that it's aged... and unless someone looks super close, the jewelry snap link will pass muster.

Haha yeah.. that dang jewelry snap. I initially went with a chain and removed it, but it posed too challenging to attach the engine.

Just caught up with this.....wow this is amazing work
