AlexM Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 I printed some parts for the interior structure. These are just my interpretation (therefore no guarantee for accuracy) from various cutaway drawings I found, and the 360-degree views found here: http://www.nmusafvirtualtour.com/cockpits/WWII_tour/WWII-10.html They still need lots of clean-up and sanding for a better fit, but they'll add much stability to the large fuselage.

Troy Molitor Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 So impressive on multiple levels. Then reality sets in and it’s a wonderful one off example. Arhhhhhh, I really would like one of these someday. Some impressive work going one here Alex. Thanks for sharing this with us.

AlexM Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 Little progress. I've been busy on the bomb bay(s). The bomb bay walls are not very clean, with some scratches here and there. But most areas will be pretty invisible at the end, so no problem for me Bombs come from the spare box. Left ones are from the Revell P-51. I think the four ones on the right were from some Trumpy kit. I enlarged the fins a bit so they will match with the other ones. Don't know where the two partly painted ones in the midle came from.

JeepsGunsTanks Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 This is a crazy awesome build, of an under appreciated aircraft. The flying prostitute was great! AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Great work on the bomb bay! That corrugated roof is pre-corrugated sheet plastic isn't it? I can't imagine you could 3-D print that out - I know my little printer couldn't. Still inspiring work, as in inspiring me to try something similar, albeit on a much smaller scale (maybe a 1/72nd scale racer, such as the Verville-Sperry R-3).

scvrobeson Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 Can you use normal cement when you put the white styrene bits on the green printed stuff? Or does it need superglue? Matt AlexM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
