Unfortunately the model had a slight accident...
So printing mk 2 is underway.

No cats involved, just murphy. Second set printed out. Looks good - so the repeatability test has been passed  ::)

Aircraft 2 is now in the state aircraft 1 was before its prang. Aircraft 1 has been remodelled without gear extended. Ill pose them together I think. One snag will be that I only have 1 set of markings. I might do aircraft one in bare metal/primer.

"so I had a go at CAD'ing it up"

I love how nonchalant  that comes off. I'm guessing those skills are hard fought and won. 3D designs with a view to printing looms high on my list of active-retirement plans.
