Pete Fleischmann Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Hello all- not a whole lot to show, but progress nonetheless- started chipping away at the tail feathers. Timmy! Printed these with a female receiver that sets the anhederal of the slabs. The inserts were ground down to be flush with the surface- …which mate to brass tubes in the aft fuselage. spot on- more to follow! cheers P Edited May 31, 2022 by Pete Fleischmann patricksparks, Out2gtcha, Azgaron and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Fleischmann Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 (edited) Busted these out! man- I made them a looong time ago- Anyhoo..While Timmy! And I sort out the front end, thought I’d concentrate on the back end..tail feathers and tailpipes, etc here is one of the nozzle/burner/flame holder/ turbine assemblies that will be buried in the fuselage- not surprisingly, they mate perfectly with the printed tailpipes the tailpipes will get wrapped in .005 aluminum..actually the whole friggin’ model will get skinned in aluminum. lots of skinning going on aboard these forums lately, which is awesome! I remember the first time I saw that technique (Timmy’s OV-10D over a decade ago! ) and skinning with aluminum was always the plan when I started this project 12 years ago- crazy. cheers P Edited June 3, 2022 by Pete Fleischmann blackbetty, Martinnfb, Starfighter and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themongoose Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) Dang it looks like you machined those as one piece they fit so well Edited June 4, 2022 by themongoose Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easixpedro Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Looking slick Pig-Fighter! Crazy to think that 3D printing hadn’t really become a thing when you started and now look what it’s bringing to the fight. Cool stuff for sure!

Oldbaldguy Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 One assumes that after a million hours of tedious skinning and swearing that you will then cover all that work with a nice shiny coat of paint? Pete Fleischmann 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Printed bits look great. What's the plan for the raised rivets on the exhausts? Matt Edited June 5, 2022 by scvrobeson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
