View File Belly Strap for 1/72 Hasegawa F-4 E/G/S Kits Tailored for Hasegawa early F-4E, G, and S kits. Using the straps on other kits like FineMolds or Fujimi will require alteration since panel lines differ. Screenshot shows the cut settings for .005" plastic. To use -- assemble reinforcements to strap using Tamiya Extra Thin Quick Setting Cement - used VERY sparingly. Attach to wing by positioning top "ears" and carefully tack top of strap into place. Then adjust arms into position and affix. The rivets are color coded to allow cutting or eliminating via cutting by color option. Gene K …

View File Vickers Wellington geodetic constructed floor This is a replacement part for the "Trumpeter" 1/48th scale Vickers Wellington Mk. III geodetic constructed floor. Part number G17, Kit number 02823. I'm not sure if it will be too visible through the windows, but at the very least it should allow more light into the interior of the aircraft fuselage. NOTE: The part is very fragile, with the frame cross-members only .3mm across. I plan on glueing on parts G2, G18, E5 and E13 BEFORE removing the 3D printed supports. Also, I think it might be best to cure the part first with the supports in place. The second image…

View File Fujimi 1/72 F-86 slats inner structure Hi guys, I spent way too much time on this but I hope it will be useful to someone. The slats arms aren't included as they prove too small for the machine but styrene profiles can be used if needed. Here is what the prototype looks like with the slat held up with white tack.

View File Airfix Avro Anson 1/48 scale copilot seat frame (folded) STL file This is my first attempt at constructing a 3D model in a CAD program (don't ask how long this took, lol) It's not perfect by any means and I had to "scale" it one millimetre or two narrower before I printed it out. (It is not permanently attached in this sample image - just placed) Also, I cut the copilot seat apart (seat and backrest) and will glue this to the inside of the frame after it's painted black. Lastly, I cut the copilot rudder bars, and re-attached them in the "stowed" position. The "spare" control column will be hung on the riggin…

View File Tamiya 1/32 F-4 thin wing conversion Hi Folks. Here is my 1/32 Phantom thin wing conversion. Be aware that there is a lot of other steps necessary to achieve a true B Phantom conversion, but this is a good start point. For the general "how to", please refer to my topic on LSP. Better cut the outer panel parts in 0.5mm sheet as the original wing is 1mm (assemble 2 to get the thickness) the inner detail was cut in 0.3 on my build. Have fun, and if you happen to use this successfuly, dont hesitate to leave me a little comment on how it went. Cheers. Mathieu Submi…

Hello guys 'n' gals, I have a question for you all. Has anyone used their equipment to cut little circles out of acetate or similar to use as instrument faces? As many of us know, Peter at Airscale does some beautiful etched large scale replacement instrument panels. He often (always?) includes a small rectangle of clear plastic sheet to use for the glazing of the instruments. I have never been successful in cutting this to form the tiny circles so wondered if it might be possible using the tools at your disposal? As an alternative, is there any clear proprietary masking material that might be suitable? Cheers, Guy

View File Belly Strap for 1_32 Tamiya Phantom for Posting.studio3 Belly Strap for 1_32 Tamiya Phantom for Posting.studio3: I made this belly reinforcing Strap for an outstanding modeller (Anthony) in New Zealand who is doing a spectacular conversion of the Tamiya 1/32 F-4 to a British FG.1 here. My source material from the Internet included photos, tech diagrams, AfterMarket sets, and model kits. I cut the strap using .010" plastic in my Silhouette Cameo 4. The straps are tailored to the Tamiya 1/32 kit, so would need modification to fit other kits' panel lines and wheel wells. Also attached is an svg file for use w…

Appreciate your adding this section! Hopefully we'll see some innovative cut files posted here. I'm refining some 1/72 F-4 Phantom Silhouette cut files (plus accompanying SVG), including Seamless Intakes and belly reinforcement straps. If someone has a parts request for a specific Phantom model, I can probably work it up. Gene K
