Timmy! Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Dangit Dan you are 50’s jet factory! Keep rocking’. We need to get you into the resin printing world. You won’t have to work so hard and it’ll tune up your CAD skillz. props, Timmy! Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scvrobeson Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Now you know that the next step will be to do an F-107 Ultra Sabre and an F-108 Rapier to finish the set. And maybe even the XF-109 titljet if you're feeling spicy? Matt turboprop4 and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee in Texas Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Man I would love to have one of these. Is it weird to say that a plane that never advanced beyond full size mock up is the coolest jet ever? Lee White and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool thing about mockups was the design was always changing so no one can nail you down on any particular detail. The 103 had drastically different exhaust configurations, as well as different weapons bays. One nose wheel or two? If I do a second one it will be in flight.

Dan Yeah I like the square tail better, but both are cool. Just imagine if we had a Mach 3+ bomber hunter 70 years ago. Or if the XB-70 had gone into production, or… Oh hey- I think a Boeing 2707 would be an awesome model, also. Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) Working on the back end. Exhaust cone parts. Painted! Exhaust in place with wheel well. And all glued together.

Dandiego Posted February 11, 2023 Author Share Posted February 11, 2023 (edited) I have printed out the inlet and associated ducting. One problem, it should be installed as one piece before the fuselage halves are joined, Well, that didn't happen because I was in such a rush. So anyway, here is the part cut in half so that I can install it after the fact. Currently printing the compressor face. 8 hours.

turboprop4 Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Wow, Dan, keep up the outstanding work. You continue to bring this big beast to life! Thanks for your continued feedback on the design so that tweaks can be made in the CAD file. chad scvrobeson and Dandiego 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
