HIMMELSFALKE --- Ma.K. Falke XL

[urumomo]

I started this back in February but haven't done any scale work since March .
Decided to make this WIP the one to get back to the bench .

She's a stretched Ma.K. Falke with the rotary cannon replaced with a high power laser module for satellite and ICBM shoot-down

About to start shaping the Aves on the right side to match that intake to the left one .

Work back in February :

..................... Figuring out the angles for the intakes

 

[urumomo]

Once the angles were established , 2 resin copies were made .
Same casting used for both sides , just rotated end-to-end and the fore and aft sections cut to the proper length , miter and bevel .

 

[urumomo]

Establishing forward section of the fuselage that will accept the laser package

Really needed some slow-set resin for these slender pours but the bubbles could be dealt with here

 

[urumomo]

Ends of ducts hollowed out .
They get additional fairings at their entrance .

I made an XYZ plot-jig to make sure the sides are mirrored .
