Peeking out in front of the rear tyre, the trapped survivor
Trapped troopy has a problem, well half a problem
Might need some drag marks behind Halfie though
What the trapped dude's buddy can see
Thanks for the support during this build

Aero-space / Douglas A-20 What-If WIP
« Last post by Jeffry Fontaine on April 15, 2024, 07:44:40 PM »Attached images of my what-if A-20 Havoc(s) work in progress.
This is my second attempt at the Havoc. My first attempt was unsuccessful due to a making a wing cut that did not go quite as straight as I was hoping for. I was trying to make an A-20 with folding wings for a what-if U.S. Navy torpedo bomber which would become the TB2D-1 Havoc to replace the Douglas TBD-1 Devastator.
I decided to put some details inside the rather austere bomb bay as a solid start to the project. As you can see in the attached images there are two Havocs under construction.

It's interesting seeing how they would have had to cut and arrange the road wheels and the return (teethed) roller. There aren't many good options.
I printed a version of the front axle on my FDM printer, but the quality just isn't there. I was tempted to fire up the resin printer, but I would have to add the heater (resin success rates increase exponentially when the resin is at around 78F-80F)
Instead, I scratch built it, using some spare parts from the FDM print.
The front wheels look like they're two leftover road wheels with a tire to match. The wheel I'm using is close enough.
