Serkan Sen Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 (edited) Hello all, Although I am the member of this forum since last year, this is my first WIP. Becasue most of the time I build the models in 1:72 and 1:48 scales. But this time I decided to do something different and post my progress here with you. I hope you will enjoy too. Since couple of years I am working on full 3D modeling of entire Oxcart/Blackbird family. This huge project has been mostly done and there a few things to be detailed for SR-71 series. In this project I am planning to model fully 3D printed YF-12A "The Thing" in 1:32 scale. I know this will be very challenging but if I successfully finish this build it will be a unique work!.. Before starting this build here I would like to present my YF-12A model in general and details: The forward chine area has been modeled with all four versions: I will start with the cockpit details and wheels. Printing the huge fuselage parts will be very challenging!

Landrotten Highlander Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Wonderful work so far. I too will be following your progress with interest/ The technicians at the University of the West of Scotland have printed out an SR-71, but their quality is rather poor - just to show the capabilites of their equipment but rather unuseable for our purposes (massive print lines on all work). Curious to see how you will tackle this without having to resort to resing printing (if this is your intention anyway).

Serkan Sen Posted June 28 Author Share Posted June 28 Thanks for your encouraging comments @Dandiego, @alaninaustria, @blackbetty. This project will be very teachy for me. I have significant experience 3d printing in 1:72 and 1:48 scales. But 1:32 scale is a totally different class!.. Many thanks @Landrotten Highlander. I can share some photos of printed and assembled parts of Oxcart and "The Thing" in 1:72 to give you an idea how the print quality is: And here are are some photos of 1:48 Oxcart parts: Serkan Tony T, Michael931080, patricksparks and 18 others 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Wow, you’ve taken on quite a challenge there Serkan, but having seen some of your previous work on Britmodeller I’m sure you’ll be up to it. Looking forward to more. John Serkan Sen and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TankBuster Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Looks great, what type of printer/printers are you using for the build. Cheers. Martinnfb and Serkan Sen 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hansen Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I know the Italeri box top of the YF-12 kit called this plane "The Thing", but i can't recall any other references to the plane by that name. Perhaps i just haven't researched the subject, deeply enough... Serkan Sen and Martinnfb 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
