I think I calculated you would need at least 16 of the radials...

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

And that's wrong because..................?  ;D ;)
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

You'd need another 4, at least, to counter the extra weight of engines. ;) :wacko:

Great stuff. It's funny, after watching all of the VTOL action at Yuma I was just thinking about large VTOl a/c. This fits the bill ! Love that herc from the Perth show.

Engine work has commenced. 

I will cast 4 resin vectored thrust Pegasus engines using the mid body of a Harrier.  Sadly a Harrier has been sacrificed- chopped of the wings, nose and tail. Repositioned the side intakes to form a single intake 

Here is the master primed. Decided to keep the heat shields, nacelle design pends...



Made a 2 part master mold.

Master engine next to a standard? KGR.3 Harrier

Two Harriers got sacrificed for this project, I used some airliner engine fronts of a different scale which worked out to be the right diameter

That's looking great! So you're casting resin using the plaster mold, I don't think I've ever seen that before. How well does it work? Is it better than a rubber mold?

Very interesting  :thumbsup:

Seeing the plaster mould takes me back. We used to use plaster to make the moulds from which to cast white metal figures back in the day. You had to make sure the plaster had thoroughly dried out though or it got a tad exciting  :wacko: Then resin came along and I haven't seen plaster moulds since, certainly not seen resin being cast in plaster. Really interested to see how this turns out. Good luck  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I suspect the mould's life will be significantly shorter than a comparable rubber one, from my experience in using both.

The mold is rubber. Specifically Alumilite RTV Silicone. Just looks like plaster due to the color.  Made it two part, as it would likely be impossible to get the shape out of a single piece mold. I have never made a plaster mold.  I have only made a few RTV molds before.

Ha, Ha!  I think my eyes saw "part master mold" and somehow I merged part + master to plaster  :banghead:
