Drones, The New Generation

[Captain Canada]

Wow...you're really doing up a lot of bits for this build eh ?

[MichelC]

Yeah, especially in view of the fact that this was supposed to be a fast build.   

I'll do a fast build one day, I swear!

I love watching this detail work 

[MichelC]

Thanks, Chris, glad you like it.

Yes, overdoing it on everything is a hard habit to break. I'm doing that Flying Leopard now and am trying not to add extra bits to it......

But in cases like yours, sometimes it's worth it !

[MichelC]

Yep, detail-o-holics is what we are.

After an eight months break it was time to get going on this project again.

Before buttoning up the fuse parts the ammo belt for the M2 had to be put in place. That, BTW, is the belt that comes with the Mini World offering for the Browning gun.





Here we are. Ready for some serious business.





More coming very soon!

You should see the engine! Actually you will, pretty soon!

I made the thrust vectoring ion thruster following the engine's original schematics faithfully.

The nozzle was done with the metallic point of a ballpoint, clad with strips of aluminum tape for petals.



The rest of the pics are self-explanatory.















The final result:





How do I know the schematics I used are genuine? Cos I made the myself, that's how!

This is looking absolutely Ma.K-tastic, Michel!

[MichelC]

Thanks Old Wombat!

Here's the other part of the engine, inspired like the rest by the MaK Falke.

Thanks for watching.

Wow!

[Old Wombat]

Those pieces are insanely small!

[Old Wombat]

I'm in shock!
