| edtherenderman | West Wings Hawker Tempest | Build | 31-Jul-19 15:27 |  | | Views : 535 | | Here is where I changed my mind. I own a couple of 3D printers, and am very good at modeling in 3D software, so I decided to see if I could merge the two. Using as many reference images as I could find, I modeled the nose, radiator and exhausts in my software, then printed them out at very high resolution. This picture is of the cowling inside and out, but I also modeled and printed the radiator, air separator and air ducting to the carbs. |
