Marcel Thanks Marcel, I am really quite excited by those reheat cans and interior Kerry put in them! He is a talented guy and I am glad he likes Brit Phantoms too! 22 hours ago, GMK said: Wow. The deeper I get into CAD & CAM, the more I’ve come to see it as an alternative way to generate repeatable parts, to a professional or better level. Your build is showcasing the two extremes, done entirely by hand & eye/machine designed & fabricated. Each impressive in their own way. I never thought of it using the 2 extremes of modelling, certainly a lot of chopping up of plastic, use of resin, some printed stuff and no doubt photoetch...LOL it will all be in there! 20 hours ago, scvrobeson said: Wow, can't wait to see those nozzles printed out and painted on the model. Amazing what a CAD program can do. Matt Hey Matt, yes mate, the trick will be to do them justice with painting!! 13 hours ago, Starfighter said: The intakes are absolute perfection and the Speys look brilliant as well! Aww man, you're too kind mate! I have learned a lot from you Ben.....thank you 9 hours ago, Derek B said: Fantastic Anthony, well done! (now comes the hard part! Glad you have got the 3D print solution at hand, otherwise, I could envisage a grown man reduced to tears! lol ). Onwards and upwards... Derek LOL, thanks Derek, to be honest this has nearly reduced me to tears before I am really looking forward to getting these intakes epoxied on, then comes the fun part sorting that top shoulder shape. The real biggie will be getting the lower wing on and bringing everything together...that seems miles away as I hate doing cockpits! As you say, Onwards and Upwards Thanks everyone for all of your reactions, suggestions and encouragement, I hope we are all learning more about this mysterious Spey engined bird's secrets!

Anthony in NZ Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Nothing I can take credit for, but a test print for sizing is on it's way to me to trial... Didnt Kerry do a great job? Imagine what this will look like in a hi-res print? Thanks so very much Kerry, but also those involved who are helping with photo's, drawings, encouragement as well as offers with their high end printers to help make this happen. As you can see they are highly accurate. I just hope I can do it justice when I get a final print and paint it nicely!

Derek B Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 Those printed parts are something else altogether, they look fantastic! A huge thanks and kudos have go to Kerry for putting in all of the hard work here, which has shown superb results (and to all of the other people who have provided their help, efforts, expertise and encouragement to you and Kerry - there are some really helpful and generous souls here).

Anthony in NZ Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Kerry is now working on the new Spey Vari-ramps, shape and hole perforations are very different to the US ones...

When he was over and we were discussing Brit Phantoms over a coffee I raised concern over printing perforations so small, but he didnt seem to think it would be an issue with a really good printer Greg W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek yes and when you look at the Tamiya kit, they are oversized, but give a great representation. But if anyone can pull this off then Kerry can with a decent printer Paul in Napier, Derek B, IainM and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
