brahman104 Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Love it Peter! The 3D printed part came out brilliantly..... I can't think how else you would do that now! The sidewalls are coming together nicely too, almost like this is becoming a walk in the park for you! Craig airscale and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayW Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 Peter - another example of model detailing that withstands the effects of macro lens pictures. I can detail - but the truth comes out under magnification. Honestly I don't know how you do it..... Can you explain to us how you do those fuselage frames? They look pretty good to me, and infinitely better than what I do (typically a block of plastic stock). Martinnfb and airscale 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I was wondering: Did you perhaps attend Hogwarts University in your younger days and do you have a little stick you wave around to make things do whatever you want? airscale, Martinnfb and KUROK 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck540z3 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 This isn't modeling, this is magic and I'm not only impressed with your skilled updates, but your growth as a modeler/magician. You are trying new stuff all the time which has to be super interesting and rewarding. You continue to enrich this forum at a super high level and I thank you for your contributions.

Hey Jay - the fuselage frames are PE laminates taken from the Curtiss drawings on aircorps library, with a thin strip of litho on their edge as you can't add a folding edge to a curve... it's all well and good, but it does require the skin to be exactly the same profile as the drawing and mine weren't so they needed reworking.

Cheers, Chuck ..now Chuck, I can assure you that quite apart from blushing when I read this, the feeling is entirely mutual for you and many other fine modellers we are fortunate to have grace this place so, I started to complete the fuselage sidewalls with the remaining structural details and some of the components - including the canopy retraction wheel - this is a superb pic kindly supplied by Jennings.. ..you can see not only the wheel, but the curved guard panel that covers the cables to it's right.. ..I made this up from PE and other bits, also made the map case and got them ready for priming.. ..the right side is structurally complete with mounts for various things, stringers, formers etc and that guard for the canpoy winder thing.. ..and the other side, which has a guard for the elevator / rudder trim control cables... ..after priming with mr surfacer, it was all given a basecoat as soon I won't be able to get in all the nooks & crannies.. ..temporarily mounted the wheel for the pic and added the map case - this seems to be in different positions on early models so I went with the one that gave most clearance with the seat.. ..the green seems very olive drab in the pics, but i think its the lighting or blue background washing it out.. ..still an awful lot left to do..

tomprobert Posted January 29, 2022 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I don’t really believe in the supernatural, but seeing models in progress like this does make we question whether witchcraft is real Amazing work, Peter! zaxos345, Martinnfb, Starfighter and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
