AlexM Posted March 23, 2018 Author Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanky guys Some progress with the interior details: For the forward frame, I try the same approach like with the RS.14. I sent the 3d-model of the frame to an printing service via www.3dhubs.com. The part will pe printed in resin with a Formlabs printer, as my Ultimaker printer isn't able to print such a part (at least not as one single part). I'm curious how it will tourn out. I was told that it will take about two weeks until I'll receive the printed frame.

AlexM Posted March 31, 2018 Author Share Posted March 31, 2018 (edited) I just received some "after market" stuff The commado car contains some machine guns (Vickers K?) and ammonition drums. They resemble the polish "Karabin maszynowy obserwatora wz.37" (ouch, tongue-twister), but need to be enlarged by about 4 mm for scale. The kit was on sale for about 9 € In the meantime, I started with the propeller and engine cowling. The propellers are resin copies from the spare box: Edited March 31, 2018 by AlexM LSP_Kevin, RBrown, florin13 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradG Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Honestly this is some of the best modelling I've seen. Great stuff. Shawn M 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 Tanks Brad, but now you are exaggerating Here are the parts of the engine-cowlings, together with the Vector resin Bristol Pegasus engines, borrowed from the Hampden (note to myself: finish that Hampden someday ): It still needs some cleanup, but I love it when a plan comes together Kendzior, florin13, BradG and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Thanks Kev! Juraj, feel free to ask I'm still waiting for the printed nose-frame, but I already started with the glass-nose via vacu-forming. The mould was printed with recessed lines for later cuts. After sanding, primer, sanding ..., and several dips into "future", I made a resin copy of the mould. As I experienced with the RS.14, a resin mould proved to be usefull, when it comes to seperate the clear sheet after vacuforming. If the clear sheet sticks to much on the mould, it can be layed into the freezer. Due to different shrinkage or whatever, it can then be relatively easily seperated. At the first vacuformed test, there still occured a bit "webbing" on the lower side of the glass-nose (meaning that the clear sheet doesn't cleanly covers the mould), but I guess this can be solved with further tries. So here are the major parts, taped togehter Out2gtcha, Trak-Tor, florin13 and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
