Starfighter Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 There will be Reedoak figures for sure! Indeed, ramp down, mine sweeping gear fitted, cabin doors and rear side windows open. Let's see where this leads... HerculesPA_2, A-10LOADER and Out2gtcha 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 Let's hope it won't lead to "this will only be finished in ten years" road.. we'll see. I have 3D printed a scribing template for the forward avionic bay hatches which also serves as positioning template for the tie down eye recesses. Panel scribed and tie down eye recess in place. After this, it was time to enjoy a Jupiler from the tap and to get some inspiration from the very old Landing Zone Publications book and to think about whether or not to open the avionic bays. Seems that I am getting old - I bought this book back in 2003 when I was 18 years old...

Starfighter Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Thanks Misha! My garden is a nice place indeed - I love the view. I have scribed the first groove lines on the gearbox housing and could not help myself but to cut the gearbox oil cooler compartment open. Not sure this is a good idea, but there is no way back now.

Starfighter Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 On 5/29/2019 at 11:43 PM, Timmy! said: Ta Da!! I have to get back to the EAPS... I have made a quick CAD drawing, but I need a reference dimension - the overall length for example. I have scaled the drawing using the rear diameter of the EAPS - where it meets the engine nacelle - as a reference. The resulting part looks too short which could also mean that my engine nacelles are too small... Do you have any reference dimensions you could share, Timmy?

shepard Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 insane! fantastic job so far inspiring one for sure shep Starfighter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy! Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Good news bad news.... I don't have dimensions of the EAPS. But a few dimensions of the engine nacelle might help. Keep in mind these are not construction drawings so they shouldn't be taken as true shapes. Stretch, squash etc. to fit. You can trust the dimensions provided. Timmy!

Starfighter Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 Thanks Timmy, the engine nacelle helps a lot - I will compare it with the existing part I have and decide whether I have to re-design it or not. Thanks again for your precious help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starfighter Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Not at the moment I'm afraid. I need to buy litho plate to start working on the surface detail but the only good source seems to be in the US which means extremely high shipping cost. Need to find a solution for that...
