[invader correction set]

Have there been any attempts to correct the canopy? Its been a while but I was thinking that was also pretty off if you are doing a later Invader....

[B-24D 1:32 my first large scale build]

Excellent start there - what a monster of a kit to do as a first large plane but lookin good!

[Pale Rider FINISHED]

pods look great - Fireball does (did?) some really good heli stuff

[Pale Rider FINISHED]

oooh nice - I have wanted to do Pale Rider myself

 

Pics are scarce - found this one somewheres out there hope OK to post - doesnt help a lot other than confirm the name was on both sides of the a/c

 

 

 

[Non LSP New releases. NOW 4 OPTIONS for 1/48 Beaufighter engines and Vulcan seamless intakes]

They look very nice - you probably figured this question might be coming but any chance those Beau engines/cowlings might get scaled up a bit, to say 1/32?

 

[Quinta studio's Avro Lancaster B. Mk.I/III 3D-Printed & coloured Interior on decal paper (Border Model) NEW ITEM!]

Yes this set is amazing - makes me want to get the kit even more lol

 

Yes P-47 would be good also, but also some older 1/32 would be amazing like 1/32 F4F Wildcat for the Trumpeter kit

[Well, the Andy’s Hobby HQ WNW preorder went as expected]

I really tried to convince myself to try to get a few more WNW but I did a sanity check and reviewed my stash earlier in the afternoon and came to the realization that I have way too much already

Man, SeaFury, Mc-202, Hornet, and now this. I swear I haven’t passed on. It seems so many dreams are coming true. Now, if we could also get a good P-51B

 

Man you said it - great times for large scale models all of a sudden (I would add the dual Apache kits and Mi28N, Kotare Spit, Aviattic Pfalz the list goes on....)

 

but agreed still would really love a really good P-51B in 1/32

 

 

[1/32nd A-20G coming from HK Models]

Wow amazing Christmas surprise if it does make it out so soon! 

[1/32nd A-20G coming from HK Models]

amazing - so excited to see this confirmed! 

[3D-Printed Mondoshawan (Fifth Element)]

Wow that is amazing - really well done!

 

As someone currently printing a large multipart figure on their own Saturn, the work to do that is not to be underestimated - the amount of clean-up, prepping, etc. for the parts can be a huge effort but you seem to have knocked it out of the park with this one - congrats on such a well done project!

[1/32nd A-20G coming from HK Models]

wanted one for years so fingers are crossed

Let's compare notes.  My part (in 1/18 scale) is as follows:

 

Bolt flange dia - .53 inch.  in 1/32 that would be 18/32 x .48 = .30 inch dia

 

Basic body outer dia - .37 dia.  In 1/32 that would be 18/32 x .37 = .21 inch dia

 

Thickness - .19 inch.  In 1/32 that would be .11 inch

 

Prop shaft dia (or the hole dia) - .23 inch.  In 1/32 that would be .13 inch dia

 

I think mine is fairly accurate - are these 1/32 conversions fairly close to what you have modelled?  If far off, let's study it a bit.

 

 

I think we are darn close though not able to check currently - I took the base measurement for 1/32 from the diameter of the flange on the Vector 1/32 R-2800 as it seemed the most accurate and best looking (vs. the Hasegawa or Trumpeter engines.)  I think it was right at 7mm or .275"

It’s just the way. Wait a lifetime for one new model of a favourite subject……and two (maybe even three) come along together. It’ll spare me from ever having to source and build the Revell kit again. 
Good times. 

 

Ha - well  I can't wait for two or more new-tool P-51B 1/32 kits to show up any time please....

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

Just slowly plodding along - far short of the folks 3d modelling entire aircraft but I think I have this part about as far as I am going to take it - again its pretty small but should print OK

Hi Petrov,

I only have the cover plate, it is 112mm high and 60mm wide the Curtis badge is 32mm radious, the word Caution the letter height is 5mm and the other lettering is 3mm. The rivet holes are 3/16th's , the silver edge is 1/16 th of an inch. Hope this helps but its going to be tiny.

 

Gotcha - thanks! I should be able to scale it off the drawings from Jay but just lacking a front-on drawing so was hoping

Sorry Jay if I have hijacked your comment. Not sure if I've done wright, the picture show an original cover plate for the brush pack that I have, it would have been mounted on the flat face of the brush pack, and as you can see painted black with the raised detail silver (metal) bat as it's getting on a bit I can live with the flaking paint, it lives on my key ring with my house and car keys.

 

 

That is really cool to see - thank you for sharing! Do you have the entire brush assembly? If so, any chance for additional pictures and maybe dimensions? Thanks!

[Infinity 1/32 Son-of-a B!tch 2nd Class]

that pit is looking fine indeed - great work!

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

Well again not a lot of plastic being touched but I am trying a different kind of model - trying to make the Curtiss Electric prop system as from the drawings/pics - not done a whole lot of 3D modelling at least not in many years - mostly just chopping or slightly modifying models from others. But I guess I will see how it goes!

 

The Brush Housing is started. Not sure how much detail to put on this as the whole thing will be like 10mm wide in 1/32....

 

[1/32 Fly Hawker Hurricane Mk2C]

Just fantastic - kudos on such a fine build and finish! I recall from the build thread you used chipping fluid? Curious what brand that was and how the chipping is performed (do you sort of scratch/pick at the locations you want chipped?)

[HPH / Infinity Blohm-Voss BV-138 in works]

well I am also excited to see it - though I may be late that month with the house payment. And it might be ramen noodles for the month lol

 

Assuming we do see it come to production - feels like it has been a while since HPH has released a new kit (I could be wrong?)

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

holy smokes that is some great info there - thanks will be reviewing!

 

Question - when I click to make the images bigger I get an imgur error though - is there some way to link to your imgur gallery maybe?

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

On a Wildcat but I think the same unit? Sure wish had bluprint or plan drawings for it and also the CE Prop Gov as most of that bit in 1/32 seems to be the type used with Ham Standard props (has a disk on the side)

 

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

Hi Jay - that is some fantastic information there! I think I will attempt to replicate the ignition system you show there! If you had any more pics of that from the Dotte Mae restoration or their facebook page you mention (sadly I do not Face book) that would be great.

 

Regarding the brush housing and prop gov - I believe this pic I found shows those components?

 

[1/32 Hasegawa P-47D Sleepy Jean III]

Hi Jay W - certainly - I have done some investigations but not 100 percent on what would be correct. The Barracuda-Cals instructions say that "Sleepy Jean III" is P-47D-28-RA serial number 42-28641. I had assumed the R-2800 in this would have the "turtleback" distributer/magnetos on each side so no mag on the center top of the front housing of the engine. Just a prop governor though in between the distributer/mags - on the smaller front plate top of the front housing like in the linked photo. The harness/injection ring I am unsure of. I had thought that earlier engines would typically have the "tubular" ring and later engines would have the "flat" ring like I 3D printed above but not sure. Any input is most appreciated!
