1/48 Westland Wapiti

[wellsprop]

And here's what I've managed to do in 2 morning's!

 

1/48 Westland Wapiti Mk II, a near complete kit, to be used with the 1/48 Roden Dh.9 and Bristol Jupiter resin engine.

 

 

 

 

To create the wingtips, I needed to use the Generative Shape Design workbench in CATIA to create the profile of the wingtip as well as the aerofoil. These were used to create a multi-section surface with the other lines as guides. I joined the surfaces together and converted them to solids.

 

 

 

Here's the complete model

 

 

 

 

 

I intend to offer this as a conversion kit in the (hopefully near) future.

 

Cheers,

Ben

That's the Wapiti conversion complete!

 

This is a conversion for the 1/48 Roden Dh9 to go with the Bristol Jupiter resin engine from Silverwings. It is the first model I have attempted to CAD and 3D print, as such, it is a fairly basic set and requires scribing of the control surface lines.

 

 

 

 

£25 with free UK p+p

Looks great! Are you willing to ship one to the USA?

I sure can, I have no idea how much it will cost - I have a few other kits to print for people, so it may take a few weeks to get round to this.
