Hi all,
It's been a long time but events have moved me away from 1/48 scale for a while...........
Now, it's behind me and I can come back to my hobby!
Well, the first attempt of the front hood was not a success! I asked my 3D guy to re-do that part; the second one is not a success too!!!!! some defects are still here and it's not possible to work correctly with such a piece!
So now, I'm waiting for the third time to have a new one, hoping better!!!!!
Meanwhile, I worked on the doors that I have had to separate from the 3D shell for more simplicity in the 3D printing process; so these doors are made of 0,25 mm thick styrene and will be glued on the shell; the hinges are made of styrene strip (0,25 mm thick, 1 mm width and 2 mm long) and a rod of 0,5 mm diameter that I will add after.
Good news all the same: my Dash 8 40CW (ATLAS) is scheduled to arrive at the end of this month (I ordered it in GERMANY - AM SPUR NULL HOBBY SHOP).
See you soon
