In the right places it adds so much more finesse and I've never had any bothers with it. I always end up knocking it off the model, plastic stays stuck on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scimitar F1 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 A bit more of the CAD to show. There is at least one issue that I have already fed back to the designer. Took us a while to work out why there appears to be 2 torque links on the main UC? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve McArthur Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 @Scimitar F1 Primeportal has a decent photo of the gear strut showing that aft side scissor link. It's so delicate it's definitely not structural. The C-130 has something like this to hold a WOW switch, but I don't see any hint of wiring going anywhere near this. The only thing I can think of is this wheel has no brake assembly, maybe this is there to hold and position the hydraulic hoses running to the brakes. I'd guess that as part of the preparation for display the brake and hydraulic lines were removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Spot on @Steve McArthur it is something to do with the brakes - incredibly they are the brake lines themselves! It only became clear when we reviewed the technical manuals. Not sure the best way to render - it may be photo etch. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never seen another plane that used hard lines with joints for the brake lines I'd think that would be prone to leaks and way too easily damaged.

Iain Ogilvie Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I'd absolutely *love* to be able to do one of these in 1:32!! 🙂 Iain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scimitar F1 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Maybe in 3-D printing - all the CAD will have been done. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'd be happy to take anything! 🙂 I'd already been looking long-term at drawing the Scimitar up in Rhino (which I'm trying to learn at present) - and then printing in 1:32 using HIPS on my FDM printer, with detail parts on the resin printer. But there's no way I'd get the base drawing to the same levels of accuracy as this! One of my flying friends used to fly the Scimitar - he has very favourable memories of it as a flying machine...

Scimitar F1 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Well I want to do one in large scale as well so you are in luck. We will almost certainly vacuform the canopy with a 3-D printed base. It will not be small! Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Ogilvie Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Actually - not small is all relative... 😉 Scimitar would look very impressive in 1:32 IMHO - but I wish everyone well with the smaller kit - I hope it sells well! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
