Martinnfb Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 Not sure about the yellow release handle, I would go with red. Yellow is dedicated to fuel lines, but I can be mistaken. here is an useful linkie . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yellow is dedicated to fuel lines, but I can be mistaken. here is an useful linkie . You are correct! But the release handle is still on my PE fret. I will install it after fitting the pit, since it will be easily knocked off. The handle you see is red as well, but looks yellow since you see it from the top in the pic and shines metal. I’ll add some extra red to that as well. Cheers! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted October 31 Author Administrators Share Posted October 31 Really was not liking the KG13C control stick Aires provides. Downloaded a decent file for the handle and drew the rest myself. Jist picked them out of the printer and they are curing right now. Picture below is the resin Aires version i abandoned. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GusMac Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Looks good, definitely more substantial than the Aires one. It looks like it's been on a diet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 6 Author Administrators Share Posted November 6 So… not being happy with the resin MDC transparent parts, i 3D printed a mold for the upper canopy. I bought Evergreen transparent sheets in 0.2 and 0.4 mm. I’ll heat up a piece and pull it over my mold. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted November 6 Author Administrators Share Posted November 6 Painting and fitting the Aires parts. Shite fit. Probably due to shrinkage and it being… well.. Aires. Also remade the sanded away detail in the MDC interior. Almost fits. Almost. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Author Administrators Share Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Mind the gap! This whole set is A JOKE. Every single part needs to be seriously altered or completely remade. The rear upper part has serious shrinkage OR the side parts have. Either way: more scratching is needed. 4 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted Friday at 02:53 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:53 PM Wow, that part looks like it should be 1/48. Some serious shrinkage for sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted Friday at 04:46 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:46 PM Looks more like s#&!!y design than shrinkage at this level 😱 ! Hubert 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
