Kapiti Kid Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Apart from adding rigidity, the stated reason for representing the internal ribs was to produce a slight 'oil-canning' effect on the outer surface. Deliberate sink marks in fact. It's only just visible if you look with the light at the right angle. Very subtle. I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't heard the interview with Richard Alexander.

Seems like a pointless exercise to invest so much time and manufacturing effort in creating the injection moulds with all that intricate cutting work. As much as I understand what you're saying here, let's see the final effect once the wings are assembled and perhaps painted. These guys have produced some absolutely wonderful kits in the past of which there's been many great builds here on this forum, so I'm looking forward to see the final results. Certainly, if it's all put together well, it will be a lot more rigid than other offerings and the dihedral and general look of the plane should be excellent. It will add to the cost of the model as you say, but I'm looking forward to seeing this built.

Thanks for this information. If that is the case than hats off to the designers of this kit. Must take a really indept knowledge of the cooling process to control shrinking of the hot plastic in this fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted September 8, 2023 Author Share Posted September 8, 2023 I decided to deviate slightly from the instruction guide on the wing and fuselage join. I think this method is less risky Fanes, Landrotten Highlander, TankBuster and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
