tu22m3 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi all from Mexico: Here's a joint project (along with my friend and major Mazinger fan Ulises) for the Bandai Jet Pilder of Mazinger Z fame, it's a rather complex kit since in order to make it close to the actual craft, major surgery is needed. 1.- the first pic shows the cut in the underpan where according to instructions you add wheels (!)... we're putting a fan instead. 2.- the second pic show the work needed for the intake above the cockpit, it's simply too thick 3.- We will use a fan taken from a ATI PC videocard, it took almost a year to find the proper fan, not just diameter but depth and weight, and as an extra it will work. 4.-Taking Evergreen plastic we create the funnel where the fan will be housed, We will put styrene rods beneath to make it match the proper location. 5.- the lower surface will need major surgery, first with evergreeen plastic we cover the area where the fan and lower panels will be mounted. 6.- This is the look from above of the main fuselage, there will be enough room for connections and the instrument panels, also in the next update we will talk about the nose job needed to create the proper shape at front. see ya next time!
