« Last post by Buzzbomb on Today at 07:46:00 AM »This build has been going on and off for a few months, finally decided to post it up.
Pretty much finished.
The Falcon 9 logo, Dragon capsure are all home made decals using some source artwork. As is the US Flag. Really only needs the NASA on the second stage.
Pretty sure this does not represent any particular block of vehicle, but it gets the point across.
And a whole lot cheaper than any of the currently available commercial offerings.

« Last post by Buzzbomb on Today at 07:38:18 AM »My good friend Ian from Stargazer Models is a keen fan of all things space, so he started mastering up a Falcon 9 for himself.
I managed to talk him into (read bribe with a couple of pints ) getting a copy of his work.
Not much to it, the engine housing, landing legs, Mesh Control fins and the Dragon capsule and adaptor, all in old school resin except the fins which are resin printer. The rest is just plastic card/rod/strip.
Then find some 25mm pressure tubing for the rest of it.
Spacex on the rocket body is masking. Always good to have great mates and one has one of those Silhouette printers that can cut masks

« Last post by Buzzbomb on Today at 07:33:39 AM »I was thinking that paying tourists might appreciate a good sized door and some stairs or a ladder for getting on and off.
As do I after seeing the examples provided by Kerick. That and looking at the model some more... this will be rectified
Looks great! Where did you get those wheels?Designed them up using a Tractor Tyre base and adding the rest, happy to send you the STL if you want.

« Last post by Robomog on Today at 07:24:13 AM »Hi all
It turns out that Frank3k was absolutely on the button, despite its age the kit has gone together well. The fuselage and wing joints are not bad, but the wing/fuselage joint needed filler. (Pretty much like most of the Spitfires i have built
)
The canopy fit was iffy and I had to give the seat a bit of a trim to get it to fit properly.
The story so far .......
As this going to be late forties time line I decided the Spitfire was going to deliver Dry Ice into the clouds and required some fancy canisters to disperse the ice. Here's progress so far....
I am looking to have distribution cannisters on three hard points but may have to ditch the centre section cannister if there isn't enough ground clearance.
Still haven't decided what colour to paint it
Thanks for looking........
