Well, I was planning to try chaos aircraft first, but GlynGs set of AI modle measurements was so extensive I got distracted by the Thunderbolt, so here it is. More panel/rivet details should clearly be added, but that will have to wait till the second one. I made it to be fast to build rather than accurate - the fuselage is just 9 layers of 1mm plastic stuck together, the cockpit also seems rather far back. I hope to do a few more over the next week, maybe a lightning next.


Work in progress and scale:

Woah, that is really awesome.

Can I ask why? Is it to save costs or just to see if you could?

A mix of both really, it looked like an easy shape to make. I don’t have any *proper* imperial aircraft at all( just 1 scratch built thunderhawk I gave up on ages ago), so needed to do something , if I brought them id want FW :agree: , but FW is expensive :disagree:

I think the heat may be getting to me as im actually considering painting it...

Hmm, CAD or a random pile of sprues and a knife? :)

how have you been bending the rod and gettin it to keep shape? i.e the engine tubes?

For this I drew out key shapes like the wings and main fuselage sections in adobe illustrator, then spray mounted them on plastic. Then I added sprue and other parts etc, so a mix of both.

Yes, its just small length of 0.8 or 0.6 mm rod (I forget which) bent around a small metal rod then cut to shape.

Next up is a trio of hellblades – it was going to be a lightening, but FW have the schematics for the hellblade on one of the AI sample book pages on their site, so...  :alien:
