fasteagle12 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Does anyone have a link to the specific steps to take to modify the wing box support to get the correct wing droop for a plane on the ground? I've done some searches but haven't come up with the exact cut location/stock removal for the droop. Any help, hopefully with photos, would be greatly appreciated........TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 At one point somebody offered a resin wing box with the cuts already made, sorry can't remember who. IIRC, there was an issue of Fine Scale Modeler that had a build with diagrams on how to alter the kit item. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F-16 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I think it was a Paul Boyer article(?) He is on this forum, so you may be able to PM him for information on that article he did. Scott CNJC-IPMS Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VG 33 Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I do not remember wher I read we have to cut the upper wing every 5cm to get the correct curve and not just around the wing box. So far I have built a -H stright from the box butfor the -G I will try the multiple cuts. Patrick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Its a shame the kid who made Golden dragon, Super bug, BUFF master etc etc parts doesnt really make them any more, he had a one stop fix for the wing box. Ive got a few of them myself, only dry fit tested them but they do look like they work. Ive got a scan from a magazine published a few years ago that I think tells how to do it... I was going to say I can try and fish it out but I quick search of my computer found it (Win10 search is quite nice, we come a long way baby!) Yeah its just a 5 page, 5Mb per page article on how to modernise the kit. It does show the wing box... Ive got no mould making compound left, otherwise I would cast a copy of the wing box Ive got... Basically its a solid flattened out version of whats in the kit. I cant email the sheets over if you like. FSM article was from 16 years ago... I dont suppose they would mind. If they do who cares, nothing ever actually happened anyway ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
