D Bellis Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 While we're on the subject, what are the odds of getting these 1/48 Beaufighter engines & cowls scaled up to 1/32? https://aerocraftmodels.bigcartel.com/product/bristol-beaufighter-replacement-cowlings-and-engines-for-the-revell-kits D firefly7, Piprm, Troy Molitor and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 Pete I know what you need and want………. All I am saying right now a few things and options are being worked on, not looked at the canopies just yet, but trying to fit as many projects in as I am able.

Ali I started on this about 8 or more years ago, but unfortunately, it came to nothing. I still have my original masters for the internal shell sidewalls and floor if you are interested in them? Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) Once I have completed my current pattern making work, I may consider completing the Beaufighter interior pattern to a very limited degree and pass it on for casting as it - there is far too much work involved in making a fully detailed interior set. After this, I will probably call it a day on pattern making so that I can try and get back to normal model making whilst I am still able too!

LSP_Ray Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Derek, you have seen the Model Monkey stuff haven't you? It is amazing! Pete is trying to fill in the gaps - cowls, canopies, etc. Pete Fleischmann, Model_Monkey, Derek B and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali62 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 UPDATE TIME ON THIS PROJECT. CANOPIES I have been working hard on getting some shapes done in CAD so that I can start slowly working these into masters to cast clear parts from. Believe you me it is still a huge amount of time and effort needed to take these two grey parts into finished product clear parts. So I am looking for input on the basic overall shapes, especially of the rear observers canopy. Drawings are almost non existent and many are not correct, so I have poured over pictures from books, the WINGLEADER books being some of the best, amongst others in my library. However as you all know pictures are old, grey and for some REASON, the photographers never bothered all this years ago in the war to get the exact angles that would answer millions of questions. So I would like to see some comments, if the general consensus is positive I shall proceed, better still if someone does has very specific drawings, known accurate scale drawings or very good photographs to show changes please share, in the first instance send me a PM. ENGINES Kerry is still working on these, they will have a little more detail than the 1/48 scale ones, time scale is not known at this stage when they will be ready.

Derek B Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 Hi Ali, Those new transparency shapes look good to me (sorry, I have no good reference to help you with this aspect). Chers Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) I've just split the Model Monkey portion of this discussion out to the Vendors Board in fairness to Ali.
