Doubt there is much of a market for these.

Mk.I Horsa pilots control wheel assembly. Took a bit of work as we had no drawings and I had to derive it all from photos and descriptions.

Select few yes..Ive been doing it for a couple years ago now and its not going to make you rich.Adds a little bit to the kitty now and then but to me its keeping the history of the parts alive..

Nice work :)
Got quoted $600 to get this printed off in one piece.Found a program online that can slice models apart so did it myself for less than $100.

Very nice. What material are you using? The attention to detail looks great.

Bit of a production line going on to fulfill orders...

I am looking at having some of my project components powder coated, does anyone here know what colour best matches the RAF interior green.

At the moment RAL 6011 looks to be the one to go for...

https://www.ralcolorchart.com/ral-6011-reseda-green

Obviously until I see the finished coating I can't be sure.

What paint do you chaps use?

Regards,
Krupi

Thanks Jason, unfortunately there is no equivalent RAL.

http://surfacetechonline.com/ral-colour-charts

From that website RAL 6011 looks pretty damn close.

Humbrol 78?

Bump. It would be good to see some updates to this thread.

Spit frame 8 has been mentioned. Excuse my ignorance (more used to looking at Oxfords and Wellingtons) - is frame 8 particuarly complicated? Does anyone have any photos or drawings of it they can post? I'm looking for things one of my under-employed engineers could make.

By: ReAiPa - 19th December 2017 at 22:24 Permalink - Edited 1st January 1970 at 01:00

Hello Mark,

Frame 8 isn't hugely complicated, depending of course on how complicated you want to make it!! 2 main pressings, a bunch of angled pieces, and a nice thicker top section...plus a few bags of different rivets. Makes it sounds easy I appreciate.

Just a high sheetmetal parts count...F11,s worse with F9 not too far behind with its curved hatsections...
