Focke-Wulf Fw 389E Sturmtaucher - Finished pics pg 8.

[The Wooksta!]

No,it was always the rear fuselage spars that went, rather than  the undercarriage.

I think that in the pics i've seen the fuselage has failed behind the trailing edge.

Ah yes, now the pair of you mention it that's the photo's I've seen as well. Broken back rather than "crook" undercarriage. Memory's going ; whish I knew where and I'd join it

Canopy framing completed.  Initially I tried brush painting it but Airfix'e framing detail is a soft as faeces so it was rubbish.  I cleaned it off and painted some masking tape.
Putting it on took two days bench sessions.  Canopies are glued in place and still require gap filling with krystal klear and the solid panels need painting.

very good

[loupgarou]

Looking beautiful, Fred.
Checking back the topic I appreciated very much the way you managed the transition from engine nacelle to cockpit.

[PR19_Kit]

That's looking VERY clever indeed! I'm really glad I'm not in this GB!

[buzzbomb]

Still looking great 

[zenrat]

Thanks folks.  Not long now.  I should probly start work on the back story.

This is one backstory I will thoroughly enjoy reading, if it's even half as good as the workmanship!

[zenrat]

I hope it can live up to your expectations.  I don't always manage to fully engage with my muse.  She can be fickle.

[PR19_Kit]

Your muse is working up a storm on this one Fred, it looks 'BLOODY MARVELLOUS', to quote a an old Guinness advert (I think....)

[dumaniac]

Excellent build - thanks for sharing

[63cpe]

Impressive built, would love to see this one finished!

Keep fingers crossed for you to get it all done as supposed to. This last phase is for my builts usually the hardest part ( I get bored from psr and in my mind is the picture of how it looks when finihed). I hope you don't have these troubles and finish. I would love to see the beauty pics.

Cheers,
David aka 63CPE

[zenrat]

Thanks folks.

PSR is all done Dave.  All I have left to do is drop tanks, UC doors, engine intakes, and flaps.  Then a touch of weathering, and then beauty pics.
