Silver Wolf Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Made a start on the Warbirds Replica Fw190. Its been quite a while since I've done any building, so this is an ideal kit to reignite building, which I so much enjoy. Just about to start on the wing, plan on using the MPX for the ailerons and Hitech for rudder and elevator. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wolf Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Just for clarification are the plans to scale or are they meant for guidance. Measured wing not including wing tip on plan and measures 603mm and actual wing 612mm. With moving the servo box outboard slightly it does require a little sanding to fit No real problem, opted to bore out foam tunnel for servo lead with carbon tube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTS (near to scale) mainly for guidance as you are not going to be building over it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wolf Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 👍 Thought that might be the case, just used to old school plan and building over them 😂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Wolf Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 A little more progress. Used cowl with sanding paper attached to help profile of cowl support. Thank you Simon for the 3d files. First attempt with light weight PLA, needed to have a play with retraction rates and temperature to get satisfactory finish. Managed to make a pigs ear of the ply cowl/hatch. However did manage to recover the mess 😄 A little more sanding on the wing tips and then their ready to join. A slight DIY interlude before any more updates 🙁 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
