Tempest Radial?? Caught ya! DOH

I only use it on radial engines like the 190 and p-47 , zero and tempest . in-line engines are too fragile and grenade with me. spitfire does not need it and 109 is very fragile.no advantage with dora or mustang with p-47 and 190A then put pp to 95% for cruising

next is a tiny amount of filling at wing roots and then sanding then painting wheels are done but will be last thing to put on along with other external small parts the gun hatches will stay open- in fact it would be very difficult to build it with mg151 hatch closed- here is what it should look like finished

a sad day. RIP ~S~

Im still undecided wether to open the cowls and show the guns and engine. I like the clean lines of the Fw but if I cover it up then thats a lot of work for no gain. I am going to be very careful with the painting- learnt a few lesons with the last one so will take my time. this will be my last with a brush as well, seen too many good results with spray gun not to get one, but I like the feel of brush, if I could only get that smooooth finish Id stick with it.

just plastic mate

made me look tho - but I always follow an old woodcutters advice - measure twice and cut once----- ----clever old 2 fingered Pete

AAAAARGGGHHHH.......................... phew taint you know

It will hopefully end up as pips prillers A6 JG27 Schlageter France 1943 should look like this http://www.luftwaffe39-45.historia.nom. ... riller.jpg

One of my heros has passed away - sad day http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/gla ... 997270.stm

1) Me109 engines have auto management so dont have superchargers or mix. They do have WEP or boost. dont run with boost on all the time or they overheat quickly. Only engage boost when about to enter fight or flight. You need to quickly put revs down to zero, engage boost then power up - if you engage boost with any revs then you will grenade the engine quickly. 2) for superchargers and mix- found usually on US Russian and Japanese. Watch the boost pressure indicator and it will tell you when to apply superchargers. It is altitude dependant so a good rough rule of thumb is below 2000m off or stage 1 and above 2000 stage 2 watch for smoke to know when to lean engines. full details in this excellent article http://mission4today.com/index.php?name ... ow&kid=249 hope this helps

update cockpit detail- the top part of the pit looks squint but

very nice pics mate - nice shot of engine spit is ix see here http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=0 ... _id=NEXTID

this is all Iv done so far mate- about 2hrs work so far-heres another sorry some are a bit blurry

thanks mate !!!!!!!!!!!

here is the start of the FW190A6 1?48th Im working on. The Eduard model is superb and its the first time Iv used photo etched parts - Its very very tiny -the instrument panel is 6 parts, the seat belts are 2 parts each but its worth it I think you can see a small map box and the rudder pedels are very detailed- pity they are going to be painted over in dull grey

drivers me thinks see here- youll need to trawl through this to get best settings for your card. http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 2531042843 and http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/ ... 4991014385 or pm quazi as he knows about nvidea driver if not that then heating problems or power supply problems but get your drivers and nvidea control panel setings sorted out first mate

Two weeks be sure............... sorry couldnt help it I think they will try for christmas but I cant see it being out before early next year

wow - superb - id love a copy too if possible

well done - and very good price too one suggestion tho is to put the graphics card on its own power lead without splitting- use the splitter on other things like hard drive and floppy etc dont have to if you arnt getting any problems but if you do then try this.

very nice- Im going to have to get a spray gun - its so much neater.
