airscale Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Harold - not sure if this works for you, but I have the spoked nosewheel in 3D and could scale a print of it in 1/32 maybe that can be used as donor parts for a 1/32 resin master ..if that helps drop me a PM and I will arrange it & send it?

Tnarg Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 This almost sounds like an answer to the question posed elsewhere, as to where are we going with modeling. Scanning real items, sharing photos and information for a collaborative effort to get the plane we want. Will we see printed masters for cast landing gear next?

I have the nose wheel measurements at 24"X6"....or .75"X.19" in 1/32 scale. Just a fraction larger than your measurements. I think I am close now. Oh yes, thanks for the photos.

Harold Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 Small update on the wheels.. I still have to drill mounting holes and a bit of cleanup on the nose wheel, but not a lot left to do. They are fairly close to scale and should be better than anything else available for a vac kit. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn nice Harlold! Now all we need is an IM kit of my favorite air-frame!!!! Any chance of an open/non-covered nose wheel as well?

Unlikely on the open cover nose wheel. It would have to be a printed part, my carving skills aren't up to that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
