Ensafrirpo Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Magnifique, a real work of art. When will the lights be switched on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Magnifique, a real work of art. When will the lights be switched on? Just ask for it :) I glued the MLG and soldered the LEDs. LUX FUIT Bottom side. Closer. The size of the LEDS is just incredibly small. It was a real challenge to solder the four connecting wires without melting anything around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PetarB Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 From 300: "This is madness!" I did not realise you were going to light the lights. I need to pay better attention! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalephantomphixer Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Heck, there were 3 green lights!?! I an working on the issue... Edited August 12, 2011 by Scalephantomphixer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 (edited) The front gear is finished and I sand slightly the tires to even out small differences between all 6 tires. Here we are: the Learjet sits proudly on all its three legs. Next are the gear doors. The front ones are wrapped, so I flaten them out with my hot air gun at 100°C.

Scalephantomphixer Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Engraving the front gear doors to reduce their thickness. To reinforce the attachement of the doors to the body I inserted 0.3mm pins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 The plane itself is FINISHED. I still need to do: - the door - the many antennae - the "weapons" (ECM pods) - some weathering - the diorama Here come the latest pictures, without any comments nor match ;) Have a good night everyone :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny_7713 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see how the diorama will turn out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalephantomphixer Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 This bit of brass will become an antenna. I started with the largest one to get sp,e practice. The small protruding pin is the link to the body of the aircraft. Finishing of the surface. The red arrow points to the 0.3mm pin. Drilling the hole for the antenna pin. It must be exactly centered on top of the body. Note all the dust that collected on the model since July... Here is the first antenna. I will paint them all in one batch. With my finger as a scale. Closer, for the short-sighted people like me :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 The heavy guns have arrived from Hong-Kong : the power supply is to feed my models with electricity without a wall socket, for a periode covering an entire week-end or more. 1. A 220/12V, 250W power supply to feed a charger. 2. The charger loads my LiPo battery packs rated 4'000 mAh and above. 3. The packs finally deliver the energy to the models.

Scalephantomphixer Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 The smaller antennas : also built with 0.15mm thick brass sheet. I polish them on a 30 microns lapping film. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JMan Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 WOW, that's all I have to say about this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalephantomphixer Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 My small week-end production: 28 small parts, most of them antennas, plus pitot tubes and AoA sensors. Many parts are built by assembling and soldering three components. All parts have a location pin to be inserted into the body of the model, either cut out or added ba soldering. All parts are brass, which I love for its ability to be easily shaped by cutting, filing, sanding and soldering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
