dodgem37 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 What was wrong with the earlier shoulder? Thank you. Sincerely, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 I wasn't able to obtain a correct and smooth transition between the fuselage center section and the wings by hand - it just didn't look as it should seen from front. I am pretty sure nobody would have noticed, but well... I do! I will have to redesign the wingfolds as well. There's quite a lot of work ahead!

Rainer Hoffmann Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Ben, in your Prowler thread I just saw the pic of the EA-6B, the E-2 and the S-3 placed on that drawing of a carrier deck / elevator. That reminded me of this thread here. Any progress on this one? Can't wait to see more. Cheers Rainer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starfighter Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sadly no progress at the moment I'm afraid. I am still waiting for the center section to be CNC milled - reminds me that I need to send out some PU foam! Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Thank you! I have tested a some new elements for the Viking last week - the elevetors look quite good in terms of shape and size, the canopy requires a few more adjustments before it can serve as master to vacuform the final canopy.

Starfighter Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 Thank you very much! I should soon be able to show some more progress - the new wings are almost ready. I might just get some weight issues as the new parts are pretty heavy... HerculesPA_2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 Thank you for your interest! I am currently focused on the Prowler in order to get it ready for the BSMC show on December 11th; the Viking will get back on the bench afterwards. I was able to source a significant amount of Ureol which will be used to machine the center wing portion. I have tried to laminate glass fibre mats onto a styrofoam master to obtain an usable part, but this did not work out as expected. The machined part will serve as master for silicone moulds. I swear, I haven't forgotten the Viking - it's still in sight! stusbke, Rainer Hoffmann, jgrease and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
