Curt B Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hey All, I'm working on my 1/48 Eduard Fw-190D11/13 airplane, and I don't know whether the cowl flaps can/should be displayed open when the plane is parked on the ground. I always like to show as much as possible, as long as the positions are technically accurate. Can anyone help me? I know it doesn't matter, but I'm planning to paint it as the JV44 aircraft 4...love the red underside with the white 'pinstripes' 😝 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peter havriluk Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I guess a look at the pilot's operating handbook would answer this - - - when are cowl flaps opened and closed? Before startup? After startup? As needed? Before shutdown? After shutdown? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cool Hand Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 There's plenty of reference photos of Doras parked with the cowl flaps open including from JV 44. Go nuts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
berniemckenna Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 I just googled this and there are plenty of photos showing them open.Google is your friend. Bernie McKenna Quote Link to post Share on other sites
