    Great progress! Are you aware Furball is going to bring out the Devil Dog Scooters decal sheet in 1/32nd scale? Sadly, the sheet is not *that* accurate. I'll buy one nonetheless...

    They sadly don't and all of the sets were incomplete - some important stencils were always missing. It's nonetheless a shame they don't make them anymore as they were super useful.

    To make things easier, I have decided to open a few more hatches. With a few more details added, it looks like this: The other side is still in progress. As there is no bulkhead between the bays, I had to add a rudimentary FLIR turret. The avionics boxes have yet to be detailed. In parallel, I have been working on the landing gear and the bays.

    Brilliant work, Derek!

    I have two own kids, so you may have to look for other means of payment!

    Surface detail... and more of it. Plus: Lumps'n'bumps. The raised rivets on the rudder are pretty characteristic and took a lot of time to add. The rivet pattern is different on different airframes as it seems rudders have either been repaired or strengthened from the inside. The tail antenna fairing got its characteristic surrounding reinforcement strip, another reinforcement was added to the tail cone. Note the avionics exhaust below the tail antenna fairing. More lumps and bumps on the underside. I have also added the recesses into which the antennas will be fitted.

    This is RIDICULOUSLY good.

    Cool subject! The printing quality of your kit seems to be acceptable - I have seen close up photos on Facebook and I can only descibe the printing quality of that one as shockingly bad.

    Virtually no sanding at all is needed - only in areas where my 3D modelling is not perfect. The Mighty 8K is a very good printer, and it has become even better with the 12K upgrade.

    Cheers Gentlemen! Hercules, I will probably print a master and have it cast in clear resin this time. Polishing a clear printed canopy takes a very, very big aount of time and I am not really willing to do this more than once again. The master has to be perfect, of course. I am continuously working on the CAD files. Adding all the small details takes a lot of time, but my aim is to make my parts as detailed as possible because I don't want to do too much by hand once the parts have been printed. Cockpit. That's just the basic structure; I won't go crazy on the rear one as almost nothing will remain visible. I have found a very nicely detailed TF34 on one of the online 3D marketplaces - I think it was CGTrader. I was able to integrate it into my design and the result looks quite spectacular. And a look at the model as it looks at the moment. The area I'm working on at the moment - the main landing gear. The wheels are the ones I have designed for my scratchbuilt Viking back in the day. Stay tuned for more!
