I know what you mean Thomas, however there are quite a few late pics of Green 4 going thru
her phases of crazy paint stuff, would be crazy cool though

The one book i dont have/ cant find.

Maybe here. I got mine on Ebay recently. http://www.amazon.com/TA-152-Jeffrey...ds=monogram+24

Hope Todd does not mind me sharing this story. If you notice he is using a small tire to counter balance the paint stand. Well turns out he found a real full scale D9 tail wheel on eBay a few years back. Some clown didn't know what it was and was using it as a wheelbarrow wheel. True story. Why can't I ever find gems like this.

nope, no worries, was a crazy find and for what I paid for it, was even better :cool:

Then you must get some really good photo's and dimensions of that thing... it's time for me to start drawing the CAD model for the tail wheel for my 152, and i'm don't want resin cast parts..

let me know what you need when you are ready Thomas, I will do it

A good dead on face shot with a tape measure will suffice. Then if you could get a head on shot of the tire profile and a width of the rim, that'll be perfect!

I will get this info and email direct to you. I dont want to give away this info directly in this thread. I am gathering same info for David in the UK as well

Ok sounds good. If you ever part with that thing, email me first. Haha

ha, you know RP already has dibbs on it LoL

Here ya go Pandi!

Your killing me Thomas...it's like crack I'm going to have to have one. And probably one of your 152 kits as well.

Haha. If i can keep up this pace, i should have all the kit components finalized by early fall. Im trying to get a prototype flyingby mid september to early october.

Some work wrapping up the canopy frame and weathering.

Looking great!

I have a question. Do you guys know if the position light in the rudder on FW 190 aircraft was a strobe, or just a constant light? I can do either, but was just wondering which is more scale.

Constant. I doubt you'll find any sort of strobe or beacon on anything WW2. The purpose of those lights are for getting your attention and making yourself visible or noticed, not exactly what you would want in war time

Getting close to the finish line. Need to CG and do run ups.
