Hi gang,love this website and I'm always learning something new.I do not consider myself a scale builder,I do however like adding details to my aircraft. This Kit has been a "on" and "off" project since 2014 and it sat in a box for at-least 20 years before I started it,well it finally done and it came pretty good for my skill set.
- Specs 65" wingspan early Pica FW-190 Dora, I finished it as a loosely looking TA-152-C3
- Aircraft is fibber glassed .73oz 106 volan with water-based polyurethane,added Dift wood sealant on balsa so it didn't warp.
- Rivets by Chad Veich , cockpit is a hodge-podge of a 1/6 scale IMP cockpit and parts I made.
- Power plant is a Evolution 20cc Engine.
- Landing gears are electric MFG. by Lando; struts and wheels are spare parts from Hangar 9 BF-109,perform a tail wheel mod for a more scale look.
- Installed flaps, they are home made from 1/64 birch plywood and fiberglass cloth, same goes for the main gear doors.
I'm at work now so i can only post a few photos,will post more later. Cheers!! Rich
