1/32 Westland Whirlwind
JeroenPeters replied to JeroenPeters's topic in LSM 1/35 and Larger Work In Progress
Just discovered a perfectly fine late style 3d printed stick in the hi-tech kit :)))) Might still print my own for shits and giggles though. More work on the cockpit. The 3D printed parts are crisp. Some printing layers are visible, but that can be fixed. Some warpage here and there, but fixed that with boiling water and a clamp. -

Much appreciated! But i must credit Gunnar for most of the ground work. -

I need a little break from the wings. So I'm turning my attention to the control stick. Or spade grip. I'm going for the late style. I.e. any serial number from P.6984 and later. BUT! Not later than P.7054. Because after that the slats were fixated, and my model will have extended slats. First 3d steps... -

So that does make sense then… I will let the camo run underneath, but weather it less, since it was less exposed. Thnx! -

Question for Gunnar: what colour would the leading edge be underneath the slats? I can’t imagine camo. Interior green? It was too early for yellow primer i guess? What do you think? -

Just printed a few first tests. I prefer to print these vertically but that takes 10 hours. This angle takes only 3. -

Leading edges under the outer slats are on again. I adjusted them a little so they now sit back a mm or so. Test printing the slats tomorrow. -

Soo.. working on making the area beneath the slats proper. It’s actually good that i cut out this part. It allows me so set it back a mm and change the angle downward a little to accommodate the slat. If that makes sense. Now working on a 3d model of the slats. -

Got it! It would have been easier then to leave the leading edge on and craft / 3d print a new slat 😂 -

Question for Gunnar When the outer slat is out. Will we see the main spar? I.e.: Will we see the vertical spar? And would that spar be smooth? Closed? -

Today, after losing an Ebay battle over a sheet with four Whirlwind pilot signatures, I decided to look for more signatures. A few pilots lived many years after the war (Like Wing Commander J.E. McClure and Group Captain L.H. Bartlett). I managed to find a signed photo of the latter. He mainly flew Hurricanes, but also a Whirlwind (P7111) in which he damaged a Ju-88. -

Really interesting. I see the inner slats are not completely straight and taper slightly. And now i see hoe the rails disappear inside the upper wing. I need to make some adjustments, but i know how i will make them. Thnx! -

The aileron looks ok. Only need to add panellines and rivets. Looking at the pics right now i see a very small chip missing in the corner. Will have to fix that. -

Finally happy with the slats after printing in every angle and setting. The resin is perfectly scribable so i enhanced the panellines on them. Nextl: the ailerons -

I had to redesign the radiator slats. The angle was off as you can see here. Printing a new set now. And i need to add a push rod in the middle. The ailerons look to be ok so far. -
