Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)Welcome and thanks for your motivating words @Alec . First time I use something 3D printed and until now I enjoy it ☺️

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)A small update here ... engine took my a while to get fitted in the fuselage. Didn´t work precisely enough so I got paid off when I tried to put the engine in. Anyway I solved it somehow without any major visible impact.

RuiI gotta. say that I really appreciated there build posts that people share; its a real treat to see a bunch of plastic and such come together into a masterpiece! I learn so much from watchings.

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)Welcome @Skyhiker - thanks for your interest on this build @Rui thanks for your kind words, even if I don´t think that anybody can learn much from my work .... but this is exactly what this stunning community is for ... I learned so much from people´s builds here ...

Alec KGlad you solved the hurdle. Any ideas why the engine did not fit, or what the issue was?

Bruce Huxtable1:72? I would have trouble with those tiny PE part of it were 1:32!! Well done on your precise work.

J35JGreat work Thomas!
Really impressed of your clean build and how you apply thiny amount of glue on all delicate small PE parts without creating a mess.

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)thank you all for your kind words - I really appreciate that and this motivates me to constantly push myself out of the comfort zone .... thanks thanks thanks!!!! @Neuling: I know your skills so I´m really glad you came around my build: the answer is patience and a glass of good wine 😆 @Alec: as you can see the engine comes in a lot of tine parts and I didn´t pay enough attention when removing the print support and grinding the parts down properly. This resulted in a too long engine assembly. Lucky my I always spend a lot of time on dry-fits so I recognized it before starting to glue it in. Almost complete front end is made of printed parts and slightest deviations result that engine cowlings won´t fit together. Not a must to have them completely align when you show them open but I want to paint the all in one and then open the cowlings once done ...

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)@Neuling … who drinks beer in glasses? 😂 but I guess it will work

Trez MackenzieWhat was the cause of engine fitting? I have just got the engine pack. Any advice?
Ah, I read your previous post. It seems that most folk seem to buy these things as an aesthetic object so hats off for taking this on!

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)@Trez: as you may have seen in previous comments, the most important thing is to really carefully sand all components down. Tend to say do a little more. There are many components coming together (assembled engine itself, manually modified fuselage, printed cowlings, ... ) and should fit properly in the end to avoid any gaps or twists in the final assembly. I think it would be tricky even in bigger scale. 1/72 scale has no mercy in this complex assembly of the plane front end. I managed it, but didn´t upload any pictures here so stay tuned 😊

Sergej IFollowing! 👍, great job with cockpit and engine so far.
I have the exact same setup for an F-8 Würger in the shelf 🙂

Thomas Haberl (th_scale_models)@Trez: I will share some when I´m back - currently traveling and far away from my bench. @Sergej: thanks for your positive feedback, I hope my experiences on this build help to make yours a little bit more straight forward 😆
