AlexM Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi there, I just received a little box, containing the printed nose frame: I'm pretty impressed by the print quality, great stuff. Some of the struts are just 0,8 x 0,8 mm wide. And it actually fits into the vacuformed nose Now wish me luck not to break the frame during construction Alex shadowmare, RBrown, Trak-Tor and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Kevin Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I've just moved this thread from the Iron Rain Group Build here to Works in Progress as Alex's request. Kev AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexM Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Thanks, Kev! I haven't forgotten my older started but still unfinished projects. With my new printer (Anycubic Photon), I thought it was time to print some "raining iron", which was the motto of the group build. I made some "100 kg Z wz.31 destructive bombs" (according to my reference). The PZL.37 could carry 16 of those within the wing bomb bays (and aditional bombs in the center fuselage bomb bay, which is closed on my model) - pretty impressive for such a comparatively compact bomber of 1939. I also continued with the actual bomb bays (old school: cut and drilled styrene plates and profiles).

Marcin_Matejko Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 A brilliant job I like the use of 3D printing in modeling, in the future I intend to use this technique to build the model. AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, thanks! Do you happen to know which color the Polish bombs had? Maybe the same green-brown camo color of the aircraft? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Thanks Rick! I decided to paint the bomb bays aluminium, and I guess this will be the color for the wheel wells, too. The surrounding area still looks a bit messy. The currogated styrene in the bomb bays comes out well after the coat of aluminium: Cheers Alex Trak-Tor, florin13, Kagemusha and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Looks amazing, how did I miss it, now I will have to carefully read through the whole thread. Cheers Dennis Edited November 4, 2018 by dennismcc AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the book documentation available to me, the "German" bombs (the ones you did) were painted gray with oil paint (the paint was not specified). Look here: http://www.pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=86689 I think it's a good example and you can paint bombs in your model. AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question, since I'm not too familiar with Polish equipment: What were "German" bombs in this context? I made the bombs according to this upper drawing in my reference book: In the meantime, I printed some bomb bay doors. 3d printing makes things easier, since I need 32 seperate doors Cheers Alex MikeMaben, LSP_Kevin and florin13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
