Dandiego Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 A little more work on the exhausts. Here you can see the 4 components that will make up the completed exhaust. The long tube will be the extension of the engine nacelle, as the F-89F had different, longer engines.

Dandiego Posted August 14, 2020 Author Share Posted August 14, 2020 Working on the spine. I spent time designing the spine of the aircraft. In Fusion 360 I designed a one piece spine that goes from the rear of the second cockpit to the end of the tail. This was too tall for my printer, about 10 inches long. So I cut it into 3 pieces. Here they are. And dry fitted onto the model. Looks good, smooth curves from front to rear and straight as an arrow. Starting to really like this 3D stuff.

Dandiego Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I have been working on getting all seams filled and the entire fuselage sanded and primed. As you can see I am not done yet. This is the second go around, at least one more to go. I have spent considerable time working on the aft fuselage.I have blended 3d parts, plastic sheet and loads o Bondo to get this result. Not there yet. Here is the basic horizontal tail, still lots o work to be done. And last I am working on the windscreen. These can be difficult to work on due to the limited gluing surfaces. So here is my solution, I have forced the actual windscreen into a custom cut "holder". The "holder" will then be glued onto the fuselage.

Dandiego Posted August 19, 2020 Author Share Posted August 19, 2020 (edited) I have designed the exhaust ring for the mid-wing pods. I did not know how to design a circular part like this until last night. I googled how to do this, watched a youtube video, and viola! Here it is. I then cut it so that I could slip it onto the pod. Dropped into place. And glued into the channel. Sanded flush.

Dandiego Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Working slowly on a few items. I have glued the windscreen to the fuselage. I have added some detail under the windscreen, Rear fuselage sanded and primed, almost there.... Tail getting close to done. Rear canopy.

Cees Broere Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) Amazing, I really enjoy you creating superb models from almost nothing. Edited August 28, 2020 by Cees Broere Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Wow. That is coming along nicely Dan. I really love all your builds. Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 A little more 3d printing. Working in Fusion 360 is a little bit hit or miss for me. You think you have it right....but no. Here are my 3 attempts. First one is too small. Second one has holes for the rockets that are too small. Finally something that I can use.

I seem to gravitate to scratch builds over mainstream models these days. They may be more challenging, maybe. But they are definitely more fun.

Dandiego Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 Random, small stuff. Front end of both rocket pods. Pylons. Rough. 4 are from the kit, 2 are custom. Vents. Pretty easy really. I cut through 3 sides of the vent and then push it in. Overall shot. Thats all, Dan LSP_Kevin, Troy Molitor, Landrotten Highlander and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
