 Fokker Dr.I / MENG 1/24 (Part 1)

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 | 1/12 th Scale | Part 27 – Rear Pilot Armor

 

Armor plates glued to the seat rails.
I painted these steel plates manufactured
by Krupp in red oxide primer.

Dry fitting of the subassembly
into the fuselage.

Rear view showing the fastener
details.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 | 1/12 th Scale | Part 26 – Side consoles

I joind the seat rails and the rear
upper decking.  I airbrushed
these parts with RLM 66.

I made a template for the right side console
from MDF.

Final adjustments werde done by
adding styrene strips to make
for a perfect fit.

Focke-Wulf Fw 190 D-9 | 1/12 th Scale | Part 25 – Armor plates

Dry fitting of parts is actually quite okay....

I made a jig for mounting the seat rails
from MDF and a styrene strip
that slides into the C-profile:

I cut paper templates of the armor plates
to get the diminsions right ...

I then cut the plates from 0.5 mm alu sheet,
the alu is quite soft which makes it
tricky to cut and drill. Parts need to be
polished and cleaned.
