Thanks Scooter!

QldSpitty, your project looks mighty impressive! Many hours of hard work for sure!

Been awhile since I updated this post! Some progress in the meantime…

Firstly an animation showing all the cooling flaps in place and working…

Then the wings… It was very tricky to get the seam to have the right shape as the real thing (drawings are always a let-down). In fact the only way to get the seam correct was to get the folding animation right, as it almost perfectly follows the airfoil shape once folded.

NB. For those with sharp eyes… outer flaps are currently not installed (working on that at the moment…) and inner flaps haven’t been cut out yet.

Here’s a higher resolution image:

Merry Christmas everyone!

Thanks! Be sure to listen to the comments of Bill Lyons while watching it, it really helps picturing the whole event 🙂

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply, guys. Very much appreciated.

Matty, the background is a combination of photos and Photoshop drawing (see the making-of animation). The photos I’ve made myself. Everytime I go on holiday I take my camera with me in the plane and take hundreds of pictures 🙂
