Dandiego Posted April 8 Author Share Posted April 8 Some more items in-progress. Flaps. First version, some improvements needed. Re-printing a little thicker. Thin prints tend to curl/warp. I will thin the print on sandpaper when complete. Fuel tanks. Some small modifications still needed. Improved flaps printing now.

Dandiego Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 (edited) Tanks. This is my design. 3 parts glued together. I designed in a slot where the support/stiffener will be. Originally I printed the stiffener but it was so thin that it broke off. This is a better solution. Thin sheet plastic cut to size and glued in. Final version of the flaps. Sc had not finished the wings when I requested them. The wing is solid, so I will have to cut out an opening and insert my own wheel wells. Not a pretty sight at first, but it all works out in the end. Rest assured that Sc will add all of the needed detail in this area. Blue tape is cut to the exact shape of the flap well so that I can build the interior details.

Dandiego Posted April 12 Author Share Posted April 12 Here is my design for the intake interior as it turns and goes into the fuselage. Splitter plate is incorporated into the duct. I was going to design an engine front but you would not be able to see it....so not!

scvrobeson Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Really enjoying this project Dan. Your 3D designs and upgrades are really bringing this one to life. Hope I'll get to see it at OrangeCon in the Fall Matt Dandiego 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dandiego Posted April 18 Author Share Posted April 18 (edited) Slow progress this week. Working on getting the intakes glued together and sanding out the step on the inside. Finicky to say the least. But I think I am there. I also removed part of the round part of the duct. You can't see this part of the duct when installed and it makes painting much easier.
