Studio Scale Tie Fighter wing question

[Rockhopper2]

Hi
Are the correct Plastruct parts for the edges of the tie wing ABS, or do the styrene ones have the same profile?
Also could someone point me in the direction of a cutting diagram for the koolshade triangles?

Thanks
RH

They are ABS.

They are ABS.

So the ABS and styrene profile are different?

From what I remember, yes. But I'm not 100% on that. I used ABS on mine.

This might help. And CK out the whole thread as well. The heavy lines in the Koolshade are at right angles to the outer edge of the wings. The heavy lines are the wires that hold the slats. If you can follow. It's harder to explain than it actually is. I used to have a diagram that showed the size of the cut koolshade, but can't find it. CK out this link and the thread. It should help,

Hi, thanks that thread is incredibly useful, especially as photos are now loading for me! Still struggling to work out my koolshade cutting diagram, as the louves have to face in the correct direction. Sure I will work it out though!
