Frame of the windscreen, Z-ULTRA. Windscreen itself is made of Z-GLASS no just kidding, thats clear PVC ;)

The black exhausts are Z-ULTRA, shell mode.
Step plate is also Z-ULTRA, the corrugated surface is perfectly scale, otherwise it would be slippery.
Enclosure of the struts, Z-ULTRA shell mode, only the ends are volume models, threaded over the carbon rods which take the loads.
In between a radiator and its mounting. Those radiators, called lobster pots, were top notch in the 20´ies of the last century. :)
Radiators Z-ULTRA, mounting Z-PETG.

What a great model, Andi :)
We're waiting for more.
Thank you ;)
Some other details of another beauty.
To prevent flutter they added some weights to balance the ailerons (Supermarine S6, winner of the Schneider Trophy 1931)
4583
Fairings between strut/float and strut/fuselage
4584
4585
Thats rather simple details, however difficult and time consuming to make (carving wood or bending alu)
Model is made of carbon and epoxy

Some pics of the newest project, again a waterplane, Gloster VI.
All prints done with Eumaker Nylon+Carbon, wallthickness ~0,5mm, shell mode.
Elevator assembled. The only glue that works is cyano, and only when coated with a special primer. Also takes paint with that treatment.

Nice surface
5314
Some formers. 6mm hole in the middle, so formers + fuselage segments can be aligned on a carbon rod. Rod is removed after glueing. Formers are also 0,5mm, together with the fuselage 1mm, thats rigid enough and lighter than ply formers.
5315
Parts of the fuselage.
5317
5318

Wing construction and first parts. Wing is heavier than common balsa wing, will see how this works out.

aye! does your water plane takes to the air?
Hi,
not yet. Had to circumnavigate same setbacks:
-
Nylon expands terribly with temperature. The finished wing bends down, when upside ist exposed to sun, an vice versa. Is now printed with PolyMax PLA and 0,4mm thickness.
-
Same with elevator, altough much smaller in span.
For the time I did not see any deformation with the fuselage, however final test will be the summer sun. I am also afraid wether the glueing will survive the material expansion.
So still work in progress

Andi
awww thanks for the detailed explanation.
and the photos! great looking plane!
