Ali62 491 Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 As promised here are some of the products that are now started and being worked upon. Wheels and cowling, more will follow, including a further set of wheels and there will be two different undercarriage sets as there is variances, and there will also be a specific engine set, that is currently being drawn in 3D. Many more parts are planned for the aircraft, some more correction/ improvement sets as well as conversion sets, details will follow as the development takes place. shown below are 3D CAD drawings for wheels as well as the printed wheels that are being prepared for casting shown below is the kit cowling and the new 3D CAD cowl, once printed will check fit and details to the kit parts Learstang, Troy Molitor, Martinnfb and 14 others 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Out2gtcha 34,460 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Awesome! I'd love to get one of these kits, and is quite reassuring to know there will be some correction parts coming to fix some of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Martinnfb 690 Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 Good call with the cowling Ali and thanks for your efforts. If you can add a set of closed cooling flaps that would be lovely Cheers Martin Out2gtcha and Jan_G 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Ali62 491 Posted November 7 Author Share Posted November 7 (edited) Some sneak previews and news about what I have been up to over the past few months. A few months ago I took the plunge and invested in 3D software and 3D printers.......and upto that point I had no experience in 3D drawing personally or to do the printing. Previously I always had to rely on others to do the drawing and Shapeways or similar to do the printing. Well I jumped in at the deep end and I have developed some parts and printed them myself (not without a lot of torture, late nights, frustration and lots of wasted resin) BUT that is what it takes to self teach yourself new skills and fathom things out. Next up is an engine set that I am working on for the Hobby Boss 1/32 A-26 Invader. A friend of mine developed the front cowling but over time I have modified that, the rest of the parts are drawn and developed by myself, the first picture shows the kit part and the new part, the rest are various pictures from various angles. All of this will take time but I hope to have this out fairly soon and have a few other ideas for the A-26.

seiran01 4,571 Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 I didn't know that about the race planes, but it's awesome to hear that there are more applications than just the Invader! Link to post Share on other sites

aircommando130 506 Posted Friday at 01:30 AM Share Posted Friday at 01:30 AM The opening in the front where you see the engine is to small. Guys sand it open bigger but I'm afraid it won't be round after I try to do it! Cheers...Ron Link to post Share on other sites
