  1. Thank you (& to other folks who’ve commented or clicked the like button) Afraid I don’t have a TSR2 (yet) but here it is with a Javelin and a Lightning for comparison. About the same wingspan as the Javelin but much bigger than either jet
  2. It’s jams that were the problem when I tried switching from 0.4mm to the 0.2 - started off fine and adhere ok (magnetic bendy bed) but at some random point flow stops and the head is left waving around impotently in fresh air. Clear it out, try again,... repeat Happy enough to stick to the 0.4mm for now to save what little hair I have left
  3. Nice work on both the model and getting your printer running and dialled in. I eventually wore the plastic extruder out but the metal one has been bombproof since. You’ve had more luck than me with the 0.2mm nozzle, I can’t get them to run reliably at all
  4. Same function is there (with the same process and foibles you describe for SolidWorks)

    Just take care and make sure your best bits don’t end up torn off and on display in the British Museum
  6. Really useful those, I’d made myself some RAF shelters from lasercut ply and based on these drawings it looks like a fairly easy bit of adaptation to make the USAFE and Luftwaffe ones (now the harder job of figuring out space for them)
  7. It was certainly assessed in the same competition but for whatever reasons they seem to rank it pretty low.
  8. Different view as I realised I should really pay homage to the bookazine cover that kicked the whole thing off
  9. Another model has reached escape velocity from my project thread The Fairey Delta 3 or Fairey Large was a proposal which came fairly close to being ordered as an interceptor for the RAF to the F.155 requirement but sadly wasn’t to be. Drawn up in Fusion 360. 3D printed (FDM printed in PLA plastic on a Creality Ender 3 Pro) and finished as per a normal kit plane with conventional fillers, paints and decals. Not as nice a finish as you’d get from a resin printer but good enough to get a sense of the size and shape of it. I’ll refine this and do another better version in due course.
  10. Fling a bit of paint around and hang some tanks and missiles under the wings...
  11. Slow progress with modelling (real life intervenes) but I’ve broken the workbench and tools out today Fairey Delta 3 gets a stand (nicked from the Revell 1/144 747 & Space Shuttle set) and a bit of surface filling & sanding and then a coat of grey primer to see where we’re at
  12. Anti spin strakes? Nice potential market as so many on here will have flown in this as their first flight experience with the AEF
  13. Neither am I Paul - had just been curious to see what they looked like as a built collection. I tend to assume that me picking a model off the shelf and taking it home halves the value and then me building it reduces it to pretty much zero. An unbuilt set seems to have gone for a quite staggering amount https://www.ebay.com/itm/Revell-Century-Series-Gift-Set-From-1958-/114251733233 - not far off of $900 for 5 kits!?
  14. That Revell set built up... https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/revell-century-series-gift-set-built-1634957001
  15. Count me in for the GB though - have loads of kits that were a tenner or under (Like Adrian I too am irredeemably cheap)
  16. Sounds good - I've a Revell Hunter I was planning on doing as one of the trials aircraft used for simulated chemical and biological warfare spraying if the C&B of NCB warfare would count?
  17. You've mixed up Britmodeller and your internet dating site again haven't you?
  18. That looks rather a smart set, count me in on this - From memory I think I have an F-102 or 106 lurking in the loft somewhere that I could do with the impetus of a GB to get started on

    I missed that. Is it based on the Minestrone but adapted more for the southern mediterranean theatre of operations?
  20. Kind of proving the opposite case to the "if it looks right it'll fly right" rule "If it looks like a circus clown's plane it'll fly like one"
  21. This kind of thing? https://www.shapeways.com/product/3P9A8M3W4/1-16-t55-set-of-16-hollow-position-lights (albeit 3x smaller and without the cavity for the LEDs)
  22. Careful now. Too much of that and your eyesight will deteriorate forcing you to switch to 1/48. To progress further into 1/32 and 1/24 modelling are signs of irretrievable degeneracy
