Dave Roof Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 While there is still quite a bit of work to do, the initial test prints show the part fits as it should. As I type this, a third test print is in progress with changes that should provide an even better fit and fix a couple minor distortion issues. Once I am satisfied with the fit of the part, all of the details will be added. This will include panel lines, rivets and fasteners, as well as the cameras and other items. The forward nose landing gear doors and forward bulkhead of the wheel well also need to be done. If all goes as planned, I hope to have this released by mid April.........finally!

Dave Roof Posted March 23, 2022 Author Share Posted March 23, 2022 Third test print showed an almost perfect fit, so adding the details has begun. There is still a lot more to do, but it's getting there. Tomcatfreak, johncrow, Scotsman and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmadfire1 Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If only Academy would reissue the Delta version again, these kits are extremely hard to come by. But I will definitely buy one of these! Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
