Mo_GSP Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 Hello All, Some excellent builds here! I'm new here, Go by Mo but the sight needed a longer name so the GSP stands for German Short hair Pointer after my pets. Been modeling for a long time now. Hope this is in the right spot. After seeing the newly restored P-47 at Oshkosh I just had to build it. And I'm going to try my best at making it just as it is now. I got a 3d resin printer early in the year and use fusion360 for my CAD files. I'm no expert and learning as I go. The fortunate thing about this plane, her restoration was very well documented. There are many pics of this restoration. Here is one of them https://www.aircorpsaviation.com/project/p-47-razorback-project-updates/ I will need to make quite a few parts that are unique to Bonnie, I have no idea when I will start the actual build...I'm still trying to get my scale right. I've been working on this kit since around the first of August. So without further ado! What I'm aiming for The kit with some aftermarket goodies. First item to design was the Main wheels and tailwheel. Next I moved the objects into blender3d to mess with the profile some, still a very much work in progress. I have a pic of the tail wheel but the same process was applied to the main wheels I'm trying to give the wheel some life with flattening it some and a slight bulge on the sidewall just a tad. Very easy to over do it. And really cant tell until you print one off. And what they look like in the slicer software and printed. Next I set off to designing various parts of the interior. The Gun sight has a Modern Comms panel attached to it....So I had to make that. The Throttle quadrant. Next was the IP and rudder pedals to hold my aftermarket panel. And Lastly pics of various printed parts and how the look in a mock up. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 A great start, and what a great way of using technology to improve a kit. Soon, before you know it, you’ll have designed a whole airframe Hubert 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrankyCrafstman Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Welcome to the site. Great start. That paint job looks like it's going to be tricky, getting those natural aluminum surfaces on the cowl. Ron G 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
