We have physical parts! I give you a mix of 1st and 2nd attempt bits!



And, after a teeny bit of fettling, half an aeroplane! Ignore the bits of support I didn't clean up.



I couldn't resist sticking it all together to get a feel for the actual size. Its bigger than I expected. A handful of tweaks to the design, some panel lines, and we're good to go.

And for reference, here she is with the actual FD2. Yes I know its too purple, I didn't mix the paint well enough.....

That's very impressive, oh yes.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Surely that Delta 2 is in a different scale than the Delta 3?  Also is that a resin printer you're using?  I don't see any layer lines, looks like it was injection molded or something  :thumbsup:

Bugger.  Tried to resist but currently caving in to temptation.

Looks fantastic.

Would one of these be available for the Coventry Show and what's the price? It looks excellent.

Steady boys, what you see so far is iteration #1, the first trial print. I may be able to get the first proper one ready to display, but its a tad tight if I'm honest.

Thanks for all the kind comments as well!

Wow - looks great for a prototype print.

I've been using the perforated rafts and they really make it easier to remove the builds from the plate.
