Built the air filters. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A view of the front part of the chassis with the frame that will hold the air filters and the exhaust pipes.

A front/left view of the whole model with the frame and the engine.

A rear/left detailed view of the frame that will hold the air filters & the exhaust pipe.

One more detailed view of the frame.

Added a frame that will hold air filters and the exhaust pipe to the chassis. On this version of the truck, the exhaust is facing up behind the cab. Also did a dry fit test of the engine to the chassis, it looks like it fits just right. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

It's a paper model with traces of aluminium and copper 🙃 (no lead is used, I'm trying to avoid any dangerous materials)

Built the exhaust pipes and attached them to the engine. Due to a fairly complex shape, these pipes are flat (and I wasn't motivated enough to sculpt them from aluminium wires). #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

A view of the engine with the fixed logo. The arrow points to the replaced piece.

A photo of the engine after attaching the new piece.

A photo of the engine before fixing the Tatra logo. Notice the logo in the middle of the fan being upside down.

In reality, the Tatra logo on the fan does not turn, and it's always in the natural position. I did not pay attention to the orientation when I was building the body, but now I couldn't unsee it so I fixed it and made the part more plastic. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Thank you😊 Once you learn the proper technique (filling them with rolled paper), making wheels and tubes out of paper becomes one of the fun parts of the build process.

Attached the inlet tract pipes to the body of the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Pieces of turbochargers (and a connecting pipe).

A different view of the pieces of the turbocharger. The stick (pipe) will go through the other parts.

Built pieces of the turbochargers and a pipe that somehow connects them with the exhaust tract. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The pipes of the inlet tract viewed from one side.

The pipes of the inlet tract viewed from the other side (which looks almost the same; yay for symmetry!).

Started building the pipes of the inlet tract. These are toothpicks wrapped in paper with tiny legs. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Take care Rich, I hope that back pain will be better soon. The Corvette looks cool👍

Built the profiles used to attach the engine to the chassis and added them to the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Added the starter and a couple more details to the engine body. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Also note the kit maker name 😂

This one is an 8x8 (but it will take some time before we see the wheels).

The next part of the truck to build is the engine. This tube is part of the main body of the engine. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Thank you😊 I hope you won't be disappointed.

A view of the chassis and the crane platform, with the support legs extended.

The chassis and the platform with the legs folded. In the finished model, I'll probably keep them this way.

A photo of the cover of the model template.

With the FW-190 done, I'm finally getting back to new models. 11 months ago, I started this crane mounted on a Tatra 815 truck. The last thing I did before moving on to other things was building the support legs for the platform. #papercraft #Tatra815 #AV15 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

The diameter of the propeller as ~3.5m, so I'd expect the blades to be around 1.6m long. According to Wikipedia, the FW-190 is 3.15m tall, but I'm not sure where exactly they measured it.

I took the FW-190 outside to take a few more pictures with natural light. #archive #papercraft #FW190 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Thank you!😊

Attached the rest of the canopy to the fuselage, built a propeller, and added an antenna wire and the model is now complete. #archive #papercraft #FW190 #scalemodel #histscalemodels

Absolutely. This is a piece of tech that does little for you, but it makes the life of the person behind you way less enjoyable.

Built the canopy. I was hesitating whether to make it open or closed, but ultimately cut it open. #archive #papercraft #FW190 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
