    Blender is a free -yet very sophisticated - 3D design software. Never could even get started on it Hubert

    The technology involved is short-run molds. They can be developed from the traditional masters HpH used for their resin kits. And selling 1000 units is no doubt better than selling 100 to 300. Especially as the cost of silicone molds is repeated as these molds wear out quickly ... I am with you Tony. I wanted a DC-3. I might even have bought a C-47 kit to make it into a DC-3, but not at 700 € (European price including VAT) Hubert

    If you are an old drawing board draughtsman, then you are an in-born parametric designer. You thinks 2D dimensions and angles before thinking 3D ... Don’t even think about using Blender. Designing a shape without entering dimensions seems .... very very very alien to me Hubert

    I like the idea of them moving to short-run IM kits. And I have seen some great news in the list, like the Wyvern or the SM 79. One little more effort, and release the C-47 as an injection-molded DC-3, cheaper than the resin kit, please Infinity Models Hubert

    Very nice result, with a not-so-easy kit Hubert PS: you know there is one remaining survivor in the Krakow Aeronautics Museum (at least that is my memory)

    Go for it Dale ! Keep the tempo, mate ! Hubert

    Cool. I remember building a 1/48 Lightning F1a ... some 25 years ago. It was an ID model vac-form. I was very proud of it, and then my children thought it was a cool toy too, to go flying around the house 'Whoooooooooooooshhhhh !" Hubert

    Sorry for you. Had you asked before you bought them, I, and probably others, would have told you to pass and avoid. The E & T « engines » are competing with SAC « metal » landing gears for the title of « worst way to waste money on AM stuff ». Hubert

    Given that a battery has only 20% of the energy capacity of the same weight of kerosene, and that, AFAIK, chasing unnecessary weight is still the ABOLUTE #1 rule in aircraft-design-dos-and-don'ts, the time when we see an all-electric passenger plane is still very very very very far in the future ...

    Have you started yet ? Stop procrastinating, and get to some serious modelling, mate ! Helpful Hubert

    Agreed, Ernie. Great list ! (And can you please update my donation in the front page list ?) Hubert

    Very impressive detailing work ! As for the white, a small touch of ochre would probably break-off the coldness of the base color(yeah, I know, white is not a color ). And it would blend nicely with subsequent weathering. Hubert

    If you focus on the cylinders, I have done the design for the crankcase and accessories. I should actually resume work on the cylinder-and-head design .... Hunert

    I answered in your other thread. If you need the whole rear accessories design, I have done the design for 1/32. Hubert
  16. HubertB
    Did you design this one, Ron ? I stalled on my own design, at the cylinder design stage. Anyway, I am interested in a 1/32 version, and have the printer to print it. I also know for sure that Lukasz of Lukgraph was looking for one R-985 design. Hubert

    You are generally right, but in the case of Lope’s Hope, which is the restored Mustang Peter is reproducing, the anti-glare panel has this unique triangular shape. Hubert

    Whilst VERY cool-looking, you guys are aware that this one is just fictitious ? There is however a Macchi M-33 in 1/32, by Brach Models. Hubert

    AFAIK, MEK is a lot « hotter » than standard polystyrene glues, and will work on ABS or PMMA (Perspex) Hubert
  22. HubertB
    I have a solution for you guys : kits take a lot less space unassembled in a box. Why do you think I have such a big stash, rather than overcrowded shelves ? Hubert
  23. HubertB
    The SM 79 .... in civilian livery, of course. Hubert
  24. HubertB
    Do as you wish guys. If I had 200 grand to invest in an electric car, I’d get a Porsche Taycan... And as a bonus, whilst you old farts sit three-in-a-row in your monster truck, I’ll get three hot chicks in my beautiful, environmentally-friendly, car ... They can even be Swedish, if that matters Hubert PS: besides, I am already driving an ugly electric vehicle, with two-passengers’s capacity, big tires, and a rear-loading platform ... when I go golfing

    On the same site, there is a second walkaround, with this specific pic, among many, on the float rudders cables. http://grubbyfingersshop.com/walkaround_galleries/DHC-2_Beaver_DQ-GWW_Fiji_Walkaround Gallery/content/DHC-2_Beaver_DQ-GWW_Fiji_024_large.html Hubert
