FME erk Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Jeff Looking Good !!! You seem to have achieved a smooth transition of the engine nacelles to the leading edge of the main wings . . . did they give you any bother ?? Perfect camou scheme applied, have you covered over the fuselage windows or did your chosen kite not have any ?? David 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do have to say the nacelle area took a little work, mainly when joining them with the wing, WIndows are all masked still as there is still a little more airbrushing to do. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2019 Received my 3D printed parts from Mike. 1. Bomb Bay fuel tank. 2. Rear observation windows 3. Late open style wide mouth postwar exhausts. Now we’re running.... polishing and fitting the windows tonight. My fingers smell like Crest toothpaste. Shimmed them to perfectly fit the openings. 3D printing these windows probably was not the best way to represent these, but Mike and I are experimenting and I’m going to showcase everything that he creates. The fuel tank and exhausts are little works of art. And actually, the bit of pattern the printer leaves on the parts looks right at home on the fuel tank. A skim of sanding to take the edges off and it looks like rolled and pressed sheet metal. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted May 8, 2019 Author Administrators Share Posted May 8, 2019 So here’s the fuel tank. It was printed in two halves just to make it easier to print. Mike put a flat plate on one side to aid mounting. I’ll make some steel straps, a sump with pickup and a fuel line, and presto, I stand Maritime Patrol long range Lanc. In the rearof the bay, maybe some life rafts, depth charges, or 500lb general purpose bombs. We’ll see. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing them installed Exactly. It’s a type of odd plastic with a strange feel to it, but it sands well and after a wipe, holds primer nicely. I’m not sure how to treat it, so I treat it like resin. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlrwestSiR Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Those parts look fantastic. Ernie, do you know if Mike will be selling these as a conversion set for others? I'd be very interested in getting them if so. Carl 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very interested in getting them if so. Carl Thanks Carl and others. I’ve certainly considered selling the parts but there are a number of moving pieces with this including whether or not I provide these to someone else to sell (either printing the parts or casting with using my parts as masters). I’ll be sure to let y’all know when I know what direction I’m taking. In my head right now to design are Lanc Mk.II nacelles/engines, a Lincoln conversion, and continuing to develop parts for Mosquitos (tse tse, anyone?). If all goes to plan, bigger things to come! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
