LLRV-1 initially had caster landing gears but I read that the LLRV tended to roll on the tarmac when gusts were strong that they had to replace the landing gears with those pogo sticks : )

Thanks guys! : ) Modelled a printable landing radar as well as other parts: Helium tanks:

Modelled also the thrusters (rocket clusters):

Modelled the gimbal: Brass pins for the pivots: And two more pins here for the engine: Modelled a printable ejection seat:

Hi guys! Thanks! Has it been 3 years already? : ) LLRV engine photo from Tony I still need to add more pipes on the engine - as well as hoses -- I've never modelled hoses before so I'll have to look into it : ) Pipes are easier to do than...

Thanks! : )

A little something to spruce up the base : ) The base looks lonely with just a DVD cover slapped on. Tomcat patches have this cool and brash slogan and variations to it that's pretty cool and ran the gamut from "Anytime, Baby!", "Been to Baghdad, Baby!", "You're Booty, Baby!", to its...

Thanks, guys! Hi JNordgren42, they're just the kit ordnance : )

Hi working on the remaining stuff -- TCS pods, antennas, pylons and missiles. It's really true the last bits take the most effort : ) Will see if I can make magnetic attachment points for the pylons as they're getting in the way, making it harder to attach the mounts. Now if there's a way...

Hi Blitzkreig, Shaunsheep, thanks guys! : ) Working on other engine details. I really wanted to start another thread for the 1/24 but decided to keep them bunched together -- I just labelled the photos. Worked on the parts breakdown (details not complete yet):

Thanks guys! : ) Thanks, stevielewis, they're almost like steampunk, aren't they : ) 1/24 print and 1/18 scratchbuilt engine subassembly size comparison (lost the cone of the bigger sibling : )

Thanks, flimzy! : ) Some progress shots... Breaking down the intake fairing for printing.

Thanks, guys! : ) Back to the 1/24. Sorry for switching back and forth. I'm really focusing more on the 1/24 now.. Broke down the aft section of the GE CF700-2V engine... 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

Landing radar provided height and vertical velocity information... 1 2 3 4. Helium tanks. Helium was used to pressurize the hydrogen peroxide for firing the attitude thrusters 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14
