Oldbaldguy Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 So the airframe on this thing is pretty much just one big radiator. That’s a lot of extra oil and coolant weight because all those pipes, tubes and lines had to be filled, not to mention the complicated engineering and plumbing and a multitude of parts, pieces and potentially leaky joints. But as clean as the design was and as tightly as that motor is cowled, I’d guess there were few other options. I would opine that your metal work so far is at least equal to that of the craftsmen who English-wheeled the original airplanes into existence back in the day, just smaller. airscale, Paulpk, JayW and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monthebiff Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Absolutely incredible Peter, I was wondering how you were going to recreate those radiators and wasn't expecting the. You make it look so easy but I'm sure that's really not the case! Regards. Andy airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scvrobeson Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 It's almost as exciting to see which new technique you're going to show us all as it is to see the exemplary model being created here Matt airscale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Michael PS - Admins; can we have a jaw drop emoji, please?

tomprobert Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Sweet Jesus..! I know you probably bore of being told you are an absolute master modeller, Peter, but you really are. I thought your previous builds were fantastic but this is my favourite so far. What I also find interesting is the fact you’ve dabbled in doing a whole airframe with 3D printing, but have gone back to the ‘old school’ methods on this one… old habits die hard? Perhaps you get more pleasure building things entirely from your own hand? I love this new 3D technology that’s now with us - and it certainly has its place in scratch building - but you can’t replicate the joy of making something, watching it emerge from an idea in your mind to then see it evolve from scraps of plastic (or metal in your case) and become something that is entirely your work and skill… that’s certainly how I feel but will readily admit I’m nowhere near your level!
