Dandiego Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Jim that is a really nice nozzle. Better than mine! How much will it cost to have them printed by Shapeways? Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thierry laurent Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I ordered the Reskit early J79 exhausts some days ago. This is another option! Jim Barry and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 I decided to get on with it and model all the instrument panels. Gotta punch holes in the gauges now.

Jim Barry Posted October 22, 2022 Author Share Posted October 22, 2022 Shapeways charges $18 for the two nozzles in high detail plastic, but for any given order there is a "sales fee" or something like that. It's like $11 for no matter what you order. Oddly shipping is free so I guess this protects them from people ordering a small part for a $1. Best to bundle your printing needs, really.

Oldbaldguy Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Went rummaging thru my spare parts horde yesterday while fondling the kit parts and scored an unused Aries J-79 set. In case anyone is interested, the Aries parts click right in like they were made for Dan’s kit and make a world of difference (No offense, Dan). There are some other aftermarket bits and bobs that I’m looking at as well to help things along. Will post more on that as I get farther along.

I expected that the modelers on this site would find ways to improve the kit. I look forward to everyone's ideas and solutions.

Jim Barry Posted October 24, 2022 Author Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) OK, wrapped up the Pilot's IP, here. Even got the artificial horizon ball modeled for extra credit. So far, this is $7.50 to print. On to the GIB's IP now though. There's really not a reason you can't make a near perfect cockpit in 3D. I have all the pics of the A-5A cockpit (Ginter Book) and an abundance of time, but but it's just competing with my other projects and I need to strike a balance of perfection and actually getting things done.

Jim Barry Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 There, the Bomber/Navigator gets his desk! Nothing too fancy, but I did want to get the hood over the radar screen for some geeky reason! johncrow, Rockie Yarwood, daveculp and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Looks good Jim. I might have been able to get something similar designed but knew my printer was not up to the task. Go Jim Go. Dan Jim Barry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted October 25, 2022 Author Share Posted October 25, 2022 Mmm. I'm near pulling the trigger on a resin printer that can deal with the demands of high detail. For now, Shapeways is doing a great job for the few prints I need. Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrov27 Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 Models for cockpit and exhaust Look great! I can say I am having pretty good luck with my Elegoo Saturn if you were looking for a 3D printer for your own (though lordy its messy and stinky) Just printed a 1/32 Pratt Whitney injection ring for R-2800 today and you can even read the PRATT & WHITNEY on it (note not my model just one I got off the interwebs) Dandiego, themongoose, Rockie Yarwood and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Snagged some crew for a Revell 1/32 Phantom F-4J I'm pairing with the Vigi. I think they might make it into the Vigi too (I bought some for it, anyway). Will have to craft a more Vigilante specific headrest. Dan's has it correct. blackbetty, Dandiego, johncrow and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m planning to put guys in my Viggie as well. You are well ahead of me in the build process so it will be interesting to see how you go about it. Navy flight suits for that period were orange, BTW. Boots were brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Barry Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 Orange, yep! Brown boots, tan/khaki gloves. What's that on background jets? Intake covers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
