I just finished the engine for my latest project, Dragon’s 1/48 Focke-Wulf Ta 152H-1.I used Alcad Magnesium and Aluminum for the metallics. Metalizer Burnt Iron was brush painted on the exhausts. I also added wires and hoses from fine wire and micro solder. I’ll be building this aircraft with the cowling open.
In case you’re unfamiliar with the Ta 152, it looks like an FW 190D-9 on steroids. It has a long span, high aspect ratio wing.





I have the Trimaster kit, which has wiring and plumbing diagrams. Much less frustrating than tyring to decypher photos !

Thanks for letting me share the pics with you !

Oh so sweet! Truly awesome. How many projects are currently on the bench and how do you find the time?

[:)]MMmmmm…looking good! If the rest of the model is anything like the engine you built, it’s sure to be a winner![;)]

Regards,

Darren.

Great looking engine, pix. Looking forward to see the whole thing.

Excellent work on the powerplant Pix. Looks like you could fire it up. Keep us posted.

Again, that’s truly amazing work Pix. I’m assuming this is the kit for the GB. I wish I had the wiring diagram for my 190. I’ve ordered the engine plug from PRP and will be adding some plumbing soon. Can’t wait to see more. Great job!!!

Thanks Simon, Darren, Gumiflex, Tankmaster, Gilmund, Rick, Jerry, and ygmodeler !

Simon and Tankmaster - the number of kits on the bench varies. The only quantity never present is 1. Right now, there are four (this one, 1/48 Monogram C-47, 1/48 Hasegawa Jill, 1/48 Tauro Macchi 202), but there are others that also get attention on a less regular basis. I’m disabled, so I spend 30 to 50 hours a week at the bench.

Jerry - yes, it’s for the GB. I thought some people may be interested in seeing it that don’t frequent those pages.

Thanks again !

Pix, I think we might have to redefine disabled. Thanks for sharing looks like another awesome build.

Awesome work Pix, you really are an inspriation! [tup]

Looks ready for the test stand Bill!

The best thing i’ve ever seen!

Quality work Pix… I never cease to be impressed by your work. Don’t go stopping! [;)]

Thanks ron b, jboutin, Joe, RadMax, and mikeiw !

ron b - I have a few things that make me unemployable. I have a contracture and nerve damage in my right hand (lifting a gallon of milk is painful), and I had a heart attack last summer. I just work at my own slow pace, and put in a lot of time. It took me 25 to 30 hours to do this engine.

mikeiw - I couldn’t stop if I tried ! The accomplishment of creating a detailed miniature from a box of plastic parts is a feeling that’s hard to top. Gotta keep building !

Thanks again !

are you saying that this thing is in 1/48?
looks more like a 1/1 cale engine!
great details!
-edit-
superb details!

If that’s just the engine, I can’t wait to see the rest of it.[8D]

You might not be able to dig a ditch but you are a master craftsman. I look forward to seeing more.

Thanks jinithith, Aviator, and ron b !

ron b - no, I can’t dig the ditch, but then again, I don’t think I’d want to. [B)]

Here’s another pic that gives you an idea of the size of this little engine. That’s our standard unit of measure, a #11 blade.

The whole engine is only a little longer thanthe blade, but it has over 40 plastic parts and about 45 bits of wire and solder.

Thanks again !
