Nice. What's the scale ? I'm beginning to work on a FockWulf 190 at 1/10th scale, span = 1050mm, and ideally I'd do all the warbirds at that scale. Next-up will be the Spirtfire.
How did you do it ? What is the wall thickness ? What's the printing method ?Now shell is done

this.timer.stop()the cockpit seems very well made, how did you do that ? And also the wing root fairing, the vertical rudder transition to the fuselage ... really nice work. I'm beginning to do that for the FockWulf and I'm struggling.HardRock wrote: ↑Tue Oct 13, 2020 6:59 amMostly it done by stretching surfaces (Surface workbench) between sketches, in short.
Very often used operation - Part - Slice apart. Also usefull - Draft Upgrade / Draft Downgrade, Curves Join edges in BSpline.
In long story, there are number of "shell reconstuction" was done. For example for vertical stabilizer. Orignally VStab was designed using Curved Shapes workbench, but then leading edge was reconctructed using skeches and Sufrace.
Additional care was taken for trailing edges. Wing, wing fairing, elevator and rudder have cutted trailing edges.
yes, I do that too. As for the animation, I use the Assembly4 function.PS: Time to time you need to export / import parts (Im using STEP format) with losing history to keep project size small and avoid bugs.
Please make sure to report these bugs when you encounter them to help us improve FreeCAD
OK, hold on, I can reproduce lof of bugs in simple freecad project file
