Master Series Builds, Past Present and Future.

Here is one on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4696715

Hey I made that!

I measured the zero and tried to create it as 1:1 as I could. The other new mighty Minis are all slightly diffrent sizes and I never got around to measuring them up and making thoes versions. Each one appears to be uniquely sized for the plane.

How fast is the mini FW-190? Faster than the zero?

All of the mounts are different sizes and shapes. The corsair firewall is bigger than the zero. and the T-28 and Hellcat all have different shapes!

Thanks for the STL! It fits the 60” C-47.

The 50" and 72" will be added later this week

Any news as to when these will be available? I‘m just waiting for the 50“ version to finalise my order ;-)

Thank you! I got hooked about the time that the Covid shutdown started: staying at home was good for the building schedule. The FT Community has been awesome.

@Splinter189 - I am enjoying the build for the C-47 60". I have one thing that perhaps you can steer me in the right direction.

I getting ready to mounting the power pods and nacelles on the wings and cannot find any video clips for that. The Miscellaneous video has a section for building nacelles, and the C-47 Special Features video has a portion for building the top of the nacelles - but nothing for exactly how the power pod attaches. Maybe I missed it.

I have the landing gear kit and with that I am concerned about getting a wonky angle for the power pod. Specifically, does the power pod go mid-point through the cutout on the bottom of the wing, flush with the bottom of the wing, or flush with the top of the wing?

Hi,

Anybody knows when the AN-2 and the C47 72" will be released? I think the plan was a release a week or 2 ago but still nothing. Any update would be appreciated!

With the power pod installed and the lower half of the engine cell fully built, add a slight bevel to skins so that the assembke fits flush to lower wing skin.

Insert tabs and glue side closest to wing tip first, hold until cool and then do seam towards center.

Next, flip assembly over and run bead of glue where power pod meets upper wing skin.

This process will correctly position power pod 🙂

Thank you, John.

Again, thanks for all the very satisfying Master Series masterpieces!

Still no AN-2 and C47 72" on the Faite Test Store! Should we expect a lot of delay?

 

[JonQ]

They’re both in the store as of yesterday. ordered my 72” C-47

 

[JonQ]

Now how about an A-20 Havoc or B-26 Maruader? 60” ws
B-25 Mitchell would be great too

[Pilotr2020]

Wow, that is awesome! I am so going to build that if it comes out as plans.

Can anybody link to where the plans are for the releases from this year? Particularly the C-54. I've looked everywhere I can think of for it. A club I help run is designing and building a C-54 Skymaster that can drop about 3 dozen candy bars with parachutes for a local organization founded after the "candy bomber" from the Berlin Airlift. I've completed much of the design but it would be convenient to incorporate some tried and true elements.

Also, I've wanted to build an F-16 this summer but have been overwhelmed with designs of a BF-109 and the C-54, so I guess I'll wait until September when John releases plans for his gorgeous build. I want to be prepared so that I know where to go.

There are no plans for the C-47/DC-3 right now. Buying the speed build kit is currently your only option.

The way you would get plans, if they were available, is to become a member of the FTCA.
