Every little bit helps keep going on little by little

Nice work Wayne, very clean!

My thoughts exactly!

Coming along Wayne. As Igor says,"little by little"

Thanks Guys, got on to the support framing for the 190 attachment today, not quite finished yet and dry fitted to the Ju88 for effect.
Still deciding whether to strengthen the attachment points or not with some metal pins....maybe strong enough but will wait and see....

 

[Rogi]

Ich ya! looking good

Unless you get those pins through those narrow points, I don't think they'll help Wayne and I'm not sure you'll want to risk drilling through those areas. With those braces, I'm thinking it should be strong enough.

 

[Gnomey]

Great work so far Wayne!

 

[meatloaf109]

Looks good to me!

 

[woody]

Nice work Wayne.

Would have suggested the pinning, but Andy has a point there. Dry fit as you are with the Wurger mounted I reckon, and decide from there if you think it's strong enough.

Looks great btw!

I was thinking about removing the narrow points entirely and drilling and pinning but another play with it today it seems to have enough strength so i will leave it as is....unless I break something...
The rear vertical support from mid fuselage of the Ju88 up to the rear of the Fw190 may well replace this with a metal pin to ensure minimum movement of the support assembly.
Ok...have now pulled the 190 out of the shadows to get a start...

thanks for looking in Guys!

Using a metal rear post sounds like a good potential solution Wayne.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Have to say that framework is looking a bit frail, particularly the top tapered brackets. Suck it and see mate!

 

[Wayne Little]

Using a metal rear post sounds like a good potential solution Wayne.

Yep, going that path, will provide that bit of rigidity I'm looking for...

Not much time this weekend but succeeded in Mixing my RLM76 today and went over the undercarriage bits too....also fist bits on the 190.

 

[Crimea_River]

Fine work once again.

Looks great Wayne.
