Boeing 747SP - NASA/DLR SOFIA - Welsh Models 1/144
zebra posted a topic in Anything But Injection GB
I've got a few entries in this GB in mind and haven't entirely decided on the others yet, but the first one is definitely going to be the Welsh Models 1/144 vacform Boeing 747SP converted to the NASA/DLR telescope-carrying aircraft N747NA. I'll post a pic of the kit later, but here's the 1/1 version in flight: I've been doing some CAD work on the telescope and fairing: and done a test print of the parts: This was my first attempt at a print with my Photon Mono printer. Some of the parts came out fine, some of them will need to be printed again with the supports in a different place or in a different orientation, and a few of them (particularly the rear parts of the fairings) were too thin and didn't come out well, so will need to be redesigned (but I have a plan for that). Also needs to be test-fitted to the fuselage so I might need to tweak the design for a better fit. It's going to be displayed in flight (probably) as the door to the telescope cavity wouldn't usually be open on the ground. I'm currently on the lookout for a suitable base for a stand. V1 decals produces some good-looking laser-printed decals for N747NA - I've got 2 copies just in case (if you want two copies of a sheet in case you need spares they sell the second one half price). Can't wait to get going. Might start cutting out the vacform parts a bit early - it'll be well below 25% when we start. thanks for looking Julian- 19 replies

I'm going to be joining the party with this beauty - Welsh Models' 1/144th scale Boeing 747SP. Here's what you get in the box... Crisply molded fuselage: Wings: Resin engines and white metal undercarriage: I've got two decal options. The kit's PanAm decals or a set for South African Airways: I'm currently undecided on which colours - classic PanAm or the more colourful SAA? Any opinions? Will hopefully be getting started soon...
