crackerjazz Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I just saw this thread.  What an amazing and unique kit.  And the price is staggering. Interested in seeing especially how the 3D-printed parts turn out. Following along : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Following along : ) To tell the truth, the price tag could have been far worse.....comparable to what Tamiya takes for an injection molded kit in 1/32nd scale that you still buy aftermarket for 🙂 $220 including freight is alright, sure I sold one of my kids to science but that's not the point 😛 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aigore Posted October 7, 2021 Author Share Posted October 7, 2021 I know you have waited for it patiently while finished my backlog but now it´s time, my first build post! I haven´t opened the box since I took the inbox pictures, was afraid I couldn´t resist the temptation 😛 Now the lid is popped for good and I started on the ejection seat as per the instruction.  No sprues but resin boxes containing 3D printed parts...feels odd and with trepadation I lifted out the relevant boxes.      Ok, the parts look the part but how do I remove them without ruining anything?    I snipped the print supports very carefully with my cutter and I I felt like I was disarming a bomb! When you cut off a support pretty often there is a ping as the support just shoots off...as did smaller parts when I cut them off the block. There are tension in the supports and a cutter isn´t really ideal for cutting the parts off...think I´ll try my decals scissors the next time. so this is what you are dealing with when you start...tension plus very fragile parts...that shoots off 😛 Any way I managed to gather the parts for the bang seat.    Another issue is that there are layers on the parts and they have to be cleaned somehow...I started with sanding carefully.     I found that scarping is the way forwards, it´s quicker and you have more control over what is removed.     Oh this is nasty, not easy to scrape without loosing a nut or two 😛     But with careful scraping with a knife or a scraper tool it is manageable.      Gosh, look at the details!      Did I loose a part? yeah, of course! one of these little buggers shot off into eternity...guess I´ll have to scratch a replacement.     I put the bang seat together as n ot to lose more parts 😛 Looks neat tho 😄     The seat and seat parts ready for primer and paint.     Well that´s it for this time! The build has officially started! Cheers!  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackerjazz Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Look at that harness -- pretty amazing to think someone was doing that in 3D.  Whoever designed it is a madman.  : ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aigore Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 On with the seat...    I primed the parts in Alclad gray primer.      And the shot white aluminium over the seat frame     Love the harness, painted in light ghost gray and XF-11 JN Green     With that I put the seat together....I like what I see  I painted the parapack in the seat with dark green FS34079, the seat cover in XF-61 Dark green, the seat cushion headrest and anklepads are painted in XF-70 IJN Dark Green, the top headrest cushion is in RLM 25 Bright green (the cushions are a variation of the two depending on wear and when they were changed) and finally the seat parapack is in XF-62 Olive drab.. I washed it all in citadell Nulnoil and then drybrushed with flesh and light gray.  Now only decals are left...so I´ll seal it all in a gloss coat and put on decals and final touches before Iflat coat it.        Cheers!

Aigore Posted October 9, 2021 Author Share Posted October 9, 2021 Time to put the seat to rest!    I added the decals... lovely things that conformed perfectly and they are thin.      And then I carved the lost ejection handle, yes I know it doesn´t look perfect but nor does it have to....no point detailing something that noone will see, I choose my battles.     And the finished bang seat with it´s saftey handle in place as well .....now I just have to put it somewhere for saftey where I won´t destroy it until installment in the cockpit!        There.. on to new goals!  Cheers!

dustiepal Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 This may help with the printing layers, it is from Reedoak's web site, http://reedoak.com/how-to-prepare-reedoak-3d-printed-figure-for-paint/ . i know it is for figures but it may work for this as well. Great job on the seat by the way, loving your work.  Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
