Kubrt Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) Hallo, this is my "new years insane project" :D Kit is from Italeri (ex Dragon). It is really difficult kit for building, but I think, this Dora-9 are best look kit in 1/48 scale.... I choose airplane from Prag-Ruzyně airfield. I have done camouflage with help JaPo excelent book... upgraded wheel bay, with Aires Jumo 213 engine... reinforcement of fuselage.. new photoetched cockpit... undersurfaces with Alclad "metal" surface... result of undersurfaces basic camouflage More than 60 in progress pictures are here: http://www.modelplac.cz/htm/148/fw190d9ita.htm Edited January 26, 2008 by Kubrt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kubrt Posted January 26, 2008 Author Share Posted January 26, 2008 Very nice, Kubrt How did you do the wheel bays? I have done wheel bays really simply - only cut off middle part of wheel wells and then glued engine to the fuselage ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Falconxlvi Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Great looking Dora! What tool did you use to make the rivets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moeggo Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Beauitful!!!! What did you use for the rivets? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kubrt Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hallo, I have used "Rosie the Rivetter" tool. It is from Czech Republic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isaac Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hallo,I have used "Rosie the Rivetter" tool. It is from Czech Republic. Beautiful Dora! You have mastered Rosie. I have yet to master this wonderful tool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Kubrt, I am curious as to how you actually used the tool. Did you use a ruler or some tamiya tape to serve as a guide? I haven't had too much success in using my Rosie the riveter tool, especially around curved surfaces. I was wondering if you could offer any guidence here. Again, fantastic looking model!

Kubrt Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Rivetting is really simply: I don´t used any rulers or tamiya tape. I have used only pencil.... on this picture are visible rivetted wing before and after sanding... and here are polished surface (sanded and polished Surfacer) I´m really sorry, but my English is really bad... I would like to translate better notices about rivetting ;-) Here are completely story about building my Dora ;-) http://www.modelplac.cz/htm/148/fw190d9ita.htm But only in Czech language.... With kind regards Jakub "Kubrt" Vilingr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
