SCRATCH BUILDER Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 (edited) So it's been awhile with lots a life stuff going on but I have been wanting to start this for awhile. After collecting drawings, plans, old hand books, pictures and on and on I start my 1/18 scale Jumo 004, a few of the smaller components i could not find enough information on or the right picture angles so i had to make my best guess. Some of the larger plumbing is 3D printed but that was pushing it. Thanks to a new 3D software "PLASTICITY" I was able to get this far in just about a month. I am basically down to plumbing, linkage and small details. Wish i could say that this is 100% on but it's not, It's the best i can so with what i have. If i ever get a chance to see one in person I would document it from end to end. I was thinking about building a Yak 15 around this but we will see.

BiggTim Posted July 29, 2023 Share Posted July 29, 2023 That's nice!! You know, I'm pretty sure that counts as an LSP. It is large scale, and it is for a plane, so..... Really awesome, either way! T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCRATCH BUILDER Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 Small update, everything received it's primer today and the last of what i believe to be the last of the 3D printed parts, everything will be scratch from here. Did add some wiring today also but i realized i would not have enough so i had to order 3 more packages, it's ignition wire in yellow from Hobbylinc and comes in 24" strands, I cut it into 4- 6" strand to leave me enough to play with but i will need more, The black wire retainers are 1.3mm rod drilled out with a 1mm bit (by the grace of God it worked) and the wire slipped through, the rest of the plumbing will be made with plastic rod, I have sizes from .3mm up to 1.5mm so bending and forming won't be an issue. Nothing is secured at this point as I will try to paint as many components as I can individually.

SCRATCH BUILDER Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 Gonna need a healthy dose of Prozac after this. A lot of the larger plumbing is done and still have a few more to do before i move on to all the smaller wiring. This something i should have definitely planned better than i did but where's the fun if it all fits perfect Made a little stand for it, kinda helps when planning things out, should have another update next weekend. daHeld, LSP_Kevin, Sepp and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
