I'll do the exact same thing to this FW.

Prox 1/4.8. Perhaps their 1/5 scale kit will work

Did you need to scuff up the surface first and prime?

My Vailly FW190 had the 1/4 scale version in it. The kit was considered to be 1/4.5. I had to modify it a tad for proper fit. The wingspan was 90 inches, five inches shy of the TF version.

Probably not Wally, too many other projects in the works and I am just not a huge fan of most German warbirds.

Status: offline 		I wonder what Engine this Plane is modeled for; example: the Giant Top Flite P-40 was modeled to use the DLE55 with a JTec Wrap around Pitts Muffler, I have this plane and use the DLE and Jtec and it was a perfect fit. I can see them modeling the Plane for the DLE 55 as well, the question would be which DLE55, the newer DLE55 has rear mounted Carb and Exhaust, which is listed as being available soon, I would have to think the newer DLE would work great.

I like your thinking. I almost spit iced tea all over my keyboard whjen I read your response........... . Unfortunately a DA85 may be a bit much for the Butcher Bird even though I have seen that same motor in a T/F GS Jug. Talk about an AWESOME plane ! ! ! ! ! If I can work out a way to get one of the FW190's, I'm thinking of getting a 3W55 CS for it. A buddy of mine had one in his T/F Jug ARF and it was better than either of us expected to be.

David
