(VERSION#1 NOTES)
Made this model from a set of antique paper plans, was way more work than I anticipated, however i am very pleased with the results. im about 65% done with this build as of this posting. if i get 50 likes on this one Ill release all the individual puzzle pieces. there are few spots on frame that could use some clean up work still. if someone would be intersted in helping skin the model with realistic 1mm thick armor plating. or atleast an idea of how to incorporate the curves better then my current carving methods. any programs with digital plastic wrap effect? lol
12/12/2021: Making progress on "skinning" the tail section. sample pic added. the frame is actually providing structure to outside layer. stabilizer and elevators are now complete. gonna be breaking those pieces down for printing very soon.
12/13/2021: Ive uploaded version 1 in printable sections. this is not the final version, however, anyone who has built a traditional airplane from balsa will be ok from this point if they were trying to sand in curves and cover with iron on mono-kote. There are still some areas that could still use some clean up.
12/16/2021: Version 1 of this plane is made directly from scanning balsa pieces, however... as I am currently actually printing the full size version, there are some things that I think…
