I am looking at doing a vacform canopy and possibly resin casting for the earlier canopy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
71chally Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Early Sea Vampire would be nice aswel, with the arrestor housing/fairing, probably limited market though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the "to-do" list, need to figure out how to best do the canopy! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellsprop Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 First test print! The good news is, the design is all good. Just a couple adjustments needed to the 3D printing supports Not long before I'll be selling these! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if I'm over literalising this. The conversion looks cool, I've a similar one in injected plastic from Jays models in 1/72, it is a neat idea.

71chally Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Cracking work Wells props! I wasn't sure if the two seaters were a leap too far, and exactly what is required from conversion from the single seaters, but man a decent NF.10 would be something else!
