Note that there is some green filler on the printed pieces. Because of shrinkage, the parts did not fit together a closely as I wanted, so some filling was necessary. Hangar Aircraft Category Date Preview edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:27 Views : 421 Here is where I changed my mind. I own a couple of 3D printers, and am very good at modeling in 3D software, so I decided to see if I could merge the two. Using as many reference images as I could find, I modeled the nose, radiator and exhausts in my software, then printed them out at very high resolution. This picture is of the cowling inside and out, but I also modeled and printed the radiator, air separator and air ducting to the carbs. edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:24 Views : 466 edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:23 Views : 406 Aircraft assembled without fairings edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:21 Views : 385 Aircraft after covering. I used the same materials to cover this as I did my Sea Fury; Top Flight Silk Span and doped with Eze Dope. edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:18 Views : 370 Top of wing. Standard construction techniques. One center section, and two wing outer sections with dihedral on the rib where landing gear attaches. Very straight forward construction. edtherenderman West Wings Hawker Tempest Build 31-Jul-19 15:16 Views : 353 Rudder/Fin and Elevator/Stabilizer. The plans call for a single 1/16” layer, but I built up the surfaces to give them a more scale look. Page (4 in total) :  1   2  [ 3 ]  4  [ < Prev ] [ Next > ]
