Ok, this is interesting, Imgill I think you are right, but that means the Firefox helmets are the refuelling helmets also not HGU-20's The side latches and parts for the oxygen feed do not match the HGU-20 Can't believe I didn't see this before, but everyone said it was a HGU-20, so made...

I think what you have there is Clint Eastwoods helmet from Firefox re-purposed. Looks like it was originally black and the dead give-away it has the temple sensors Hard to prove it for sure, but someone who worked on Deal of the Century might know.

From memory, you wouldn't see that much of the plane in Firefox Down, but I remember thinking when I read it, it would have made a good film.

It could be ABS as I guess there isn't much stress on it. To print large ABS parts without warping you need enclosed printer, otherwise it's rolling the dice on whether it stay stuck to the bed/warp/split. One thing I have looked into that is surprisingly easy is 3D printed moulds to make...

I will get the 1/48th out, I promise.

Is that a "fett"ish...

Can I just ask again, are the main sections and the visor holder arm fibreglass?

If you pull it into sketchup, there is a plugin that flattens out the faces, would probably either look rough or be a nightmare to assemble though

Lovely! Is the visor holder fibreglass?

Do you have the model of the visor part, I did a fair bit of research into motorcycle helmet visors and found a couple that might be very close Also for the shell parts printing 3d molds then getting them made from fibreglass would make sense. The visor mount would need to be fibreglass to be...

It wouldn't be to hard to make in printable, as long as the model is separated into parts.

It's already for sale on turbosquid https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/navy-hgu-20-p-clamshell-3d-model-1606374

Had to look up both of those, the Flash Falcon looks like something out of Macross anime.

Hi Dave, I had a quick look at the engines, first thought was how much?!?! Anyway you would need it to be 1/12th scale to fit them in. Which is 63" long 44" wingspan. Don't know much about RC stuff, so what would a max weight have to be to get it flying? Asking as there are some new...

Back in action after having a nightmare sorting a printing issue with my big printer. Upside is I improved the print quality and can now get the second one finshed to halve print times. Sent you a PM James. Also I can't get in contact with the guy who wanted the 1/12th kit which is mostly...
