1:32nd scale Thulin K

[Mike Norris (UK)]

Hi all,
Moving along now.
Wings and landing gear fitted.

Front end rigging done, including:
Flying wires
Landing wires.
Wing warp control wires and cables.
Elevator control cables.
Pylon bracing wires.

Rigging was created using 0.08 and 0.12 mm diameter mono-filament and 0.4 and 0.5 mm diameter tube.
Also Gaspatch metal turnbuckles Type C, A, One Ended and Anchor Points in 1:48th and 1:32nd scale.

Now onto the tail unit,

That's looking really good Mike. The fabric effect and rib show through look really good.

Hi all,
The model itself is now finished.
I've added the rudder, elevator control lines and bracing wires.

Now it's just the figures and display base to complete,

The rasterized surface on the engine cover was a feature of the real plane, or is it a 3D printing fault?

Hi Richard,
It's printing striations and on the nose of the spinner.
I didn't notice it until late in the build by which time it was too late to remove.
It is minor though and looks worse in the lighting of the photograph.
In reality I suspect the cowl and spinner may have had similar marks from manufacture anyway,
