Probably not relevant for most of you (my prints that is), but can't get over how awesome 3D printing is for this hobby. The possibilities are pretty much endless.
DirtyDee and others have demonstrated the power of 3D printing for some totally awesome cosmetic mods/additions. For my part, as a novice modeller, I'm doing my best to use the technology on a practical level in my turbine project. Particularly happy with this thing, a mount that holds a fuel pump + valve. Was pretty hard to measure, and getting it right on the first try was just as much luck as skill I guess, but the result is never the less something I'm shamelessly proud of :D
Also printed a mount for the connection board, to fit in the upper fuselage behind the tank ;)
What a time we live in... these parts would been a nightmare to manufacture the old fashioned way...6 PhotosFreewing A-10 turbine conversion: http://fb.me/FreewingA10TurbineConversion

Guys, just wanted to say how awesome it is to read all of your expert posts! Really helps put my mind at ease with the tips and details you provide. I'm still stuck waiting to maiden my A-10 due to weather, but it should be soon..... Here is what I woke up to :Crying2::Crying2::Crying2: -- even the daffodils aren't happy with that blanket of snow! I know, patience, patience, patience - it will be so worth it! Happy Flying to all and hope to have maiden pix up in a couple of weeks.
Regards,
Jim

Found this online. Nice repaint for the "Black Snakes" scheme that comes with the kit, though decals would need to be changed to white via Callie Graphics. Best, Elbee1 PhotoI solemnly swear to "over-celebrate" the smallest of victories.~Lucky B*st*rd~

I revitalized the damaged one from my destroyed Hog to be repurposed on my 80" span O-2 Skymaster project and requires a second rocket pod.
Please PM me if anyone would like to help me out here.
Many thanx to Gravity Tester and his generosity.:Cool: Since your from Indiana, if you get your keister to NEFI in June, I will have some high grade pop tops to share. ;)Warbird Charlie
