qn30jEkPz7 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 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. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TallBlondJohn Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Lovely what-if (or what-should). Though we should have bought the Arrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qn30jEkPz7 Posted August 23, 2020 Author Share Posted August 23, 2020 Different view as I realised I should really pay homage to the bookazine cover that kicked the whole thing off 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 You've captured the character of the real plane and that's what counts. Looks good to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was certainly assessed in the same competition but for whatever reasons they seem to rank it pretty low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exdraken Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That looks rather big! How does it compare to a Lightning or say a TSR-2? Great job!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Edited August 24, 2020 by LostCosmonauts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
