1:33 GPM no.186 me262

I decided to start this project before I opened the halinski version

I modelled the keel combination with software and apparently there is some error here.

A halinski version of the keel was assembled in the same way.By the way I designed some parts planning to use 3d printing

Quote from Jan Hascher

Interesting approach. Love to see that.

I have to say, it's supposed to be a designer's job.

Obviously, the opening for the cannon is not in the right place and the side walls of the landing gear bay protrude 0.5mm。But with this method I can detect these errors in advance and fix them in cad and then use the laser cutter to cut the keel.

My thread is posted in the wrong section, is there any way to move it?

Thanks, and then, the belated cardboard part

When I saw these errors, it was hard to believe that this was a computer-designed drawing

Quote from Zaphod

Hello Lisiming,

yes, there are some basic flaws with this model, the red and yellow bands being two of the most obvious.

As far as I recall severall modellers did not finish this 262 due to its flaws but with your method you should be able to overcome the obstacles.

Kind regards

Zaphod

But for most people, they're actually paying for a book of model that cannot build.

I was so troubled by this error that I actually made another mistake.The penultimate skin was glued 0.1mm out of position, resulting in the 4th skin needing to compensate for 0.8mm in order to make the tail perpendicular to the fuselage!

Computer designed Yes but the author never made a test built.

This is what puzzles me the most. There are pictures of the trial mould on the back cover and the problem isn't that bad, could it be that GPM changed the drawing after the trial mould to cause the error?By the way, I really hate this mouldy cheese-like blue colour of the drawings, I can barely control the urge to repaint them

The shells of the two engines were completed, and the wrong part of the rear wing was covered with gouache

what can i say……
