Bing! They will follow the Fokker D.VII wheels.

Oh man, I ordered before the sale.... . Hey soooo, will the Gotha hubs be after the Pfalz? 

[uncletony]

argh, sorry -- is it too late to cancel and reorder? (will slow things down but you'll get the discount)

Gotha G.VI wheels -- yes sure. After the Pfalz D.IIIa.

[uncletony]

addendum to the above -- Zavod, it looks like your order is still pending. I think you can cancel it for a full refund and reorder at the sale price. It will of course cause your order to go to the back of the queue again, but...

[zavod44]

I'm not concerned, what's a few bucks among friends  , if you do the Gotha wheels it will all work itself out

[uncletony]

Seems promising. Not shown is companion sprue with filler caps and intake horns. Hard to see but slots between core elements are open all the way thru.






Available now in Frosted Extreme Detail plastic only, and specially priced thru May 17

Nice.... love the extra little details too.

Looks great, Bo. Have you tried the new Frosted Extreme Detail at Shapeways? Also, a tech question, what is the wall thickness of the core elements?

Brilliant work Bo, well done.

Wow, that looks excellent, Bo!

Your products make me consider starting with larger scales sometimes, when I see what details can be made.

Thanks guys

George -- the one in the photos is the new FXD material. I also had it printed in FUD, and although technically speaking it printed, it was not a success. (The radiator fins sort of collapsed and merged together in places.) Therefore, pending a redesign I will probably only offer this one in FXD.

 Wall thickness for the core elements is whatever the absolute minimum is -- .30mm I think.

[Pgtaylorart]

Thanks Bo. It's nice that they are offering the FXD now.

Still WIP finishing this, but now you can see it a little better with some paint:



At just the right angle, you can see through the core, just like the original:
