Too bad we did not have a good 1/48 Mi-24 kit and it needs so many scratchs, but this technique after great results! Thanks for joining. Follow the assembly ... The cardan shaft of the tail rotor was shaking a lot, so I changed the configuration by reducing the shaft and putting a small electric motor just for him ... Now I need to build this piece ... Drawing of parts ... References... Construction... At the right time it will be fixed ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
midnightprowler Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Unbelievable. Wow. You are motorizing the rotors too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In this model I tried adding lights and motors to the rotors. This really does generate a lot of work, but it had to do to see how it was. []s Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CWILL1117 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Where do you even start in scratchbuilding this stuff? Like how to you do it? What materials do you use and tools? How do you shape them? Edited April 29, 2019 by CWILL1117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What materials do you use and tools? How do you shape them? CWILL1117, The first step is to access many reference pictures of the parts you need to create in scratch. Then I use vectorized drawing software to draw the pieces (already in the scale I'm working on). The drawings are printed on paper and folded to be tested on the model. If there is a problem in the part, it undergoes the corrections and testo again in the paper model. Once everything is okay about the shape and dimensions of the piece, cut it into the aluminum plate and double (like it was a PE). The painting finishes composing the piece. There are cases where I carve all the piece (usually pieces that would be difficult to fold). Basically the process I use is like this. []s Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thank you Oliver and Nicolay. It's time to detail the engine. Those that came in the kit were well modified to be more realistic (like the picture below)... I made a shaft for the compressors ... Lots of sandpaper to remove what's wrong ... Add-on tests ... First results ... More complex details ... The compressors spin if you blow on them ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Silenoz Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 every update, when you think no more superlatives can be said... you need to check for more. There are also smaller LED's then the one you use... the one you see on the tail is pretty large considering the model. there is also an possibility to sand the tip in shape, but don't touch the electrodes...

ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 20 horas atrás, Silenoz disse: cada atualização, quando você acha que não é mais superlativo pode ser ditos ... você precisa checar mais. Há também LEDs menores que o que você usa ... o que você vê na cauda é maior do que o modelo. há uma possibilidade de lixar uma ponta em forma, mas não toque nos eletrodos ... Obrigado pessoal! Silenoz, eu entendo o que você quer dizer. O que parece ótimo, mas depois de fechar como metades da fuselagem será adequado. Você não precisa de uma versão superior do LED para o modelo original. Obrigado pela dica. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ALEXANDRE REZENDE Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 Gentlemen, More testing with the reduction box integrating with the engines ... Now it is to fix the engines and complement the details that integrate it the fuselage ... The angle of the outlet nozzles was also observed ... Reservoirs for oil ... You'll still have more details. Until the next post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
