Clever idea and the Dremel itself probably won't be any worse the wear for it. Great project coming along brilliantly. I think we'd all love a handheld 3D scanner that creates a point cloud in CAD software. Cheers Matty Yes Matty..because the drive of my milling machine has not enough rpm's for little cutters - so i went for this "emergency solution" Cheers Thomas daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brahman104 Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Beautiful work! Thank you for showing the "in-progress" shots in the lathe/mill. Always informative to see how parts are created Keep it up! Craig daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TorbenD Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Goodness me.... I must drop in more often.... My very favourite aircraft being being given some seriously skilful scratch work - what is not to absolutely adore!!! A fantastic start Thomas , so much to admire. I assume you’ve checked out this scratch-built beaut in 1/48? I know it’s not LSP but boy is it good... https://pwm.org.pl/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=79416&sid=d69b4efa313e5778c274f8e182238166 I must have nearly every book on the Hurricane somewhere in my collection along with Bentley’s wonderful plans but never been able to get any plans or profiles of all the wooden formers, both top of the fuselage and sides - May I ask where you got such drawings that you pantographed those sections from? - I would pretty much give my eye teeth to have a set, whatever scale. Very much looking forward to seeing the next post, Torben daHeld 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurribomber Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 Thanks Torben for the kind words. It is indeed difficult to get the factory drawings of the hull frames at the moment. I bought them about 10 years ago from Ian Hudson of copyzone for £200.- However, the frames are not measured, but only backed with a scale, like a map. This makes things a bit tricky, as the outside contour has to be exactly right for the stringers to line up!!! The side frames were also included, but with the wrong designation! (Wing formers - instead of fuselage formers). The only source for original drawings is https://warbirdsrestoration.com/shop/hurricane/hurricane-all/hurricane-drawings/ or http://www.aircraft-reports.com/hawker-aircraft-hurricane-aircraft-blueprints-engineering-drawings-on-dvd-or-download/ If you only need the frames, you can also give me your email address, then I can send you the drawings. I hope I could help you Thomas daHeld and TorbenD 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
