XF5U information wanted

[jknaus]

I have found one book on the XF5U flying Pancake ad it is a horrible price. I'm looking for any ref photos or drawings, specifically the cockpit and wheel wells. Thanks in advance.

The Xf5U. Only one was made and it never flew so I have cart blanc I guess. Will do the blue scheme that everyone shows from my internet search although the star and bar will be located properly unlike the picture.

Vought seemed to have lost their aircraft designer minds for a time. The Panacake. The Cutlass. (Run for your lives, it's a CUTLASS!!)
In my search, I saw a picture of the XF5-U Panacake boarding ladder. Mother Carey's chickens!

This is from Aladdin Models in 1/32. They dont send an STL file, but rather take the information for your printer and resin and make a printable file. So far working well. Here are the first 2 pates printed and knd of taped together.

their website is https://www.aladdinmodel.com/

I find it inexcusable that a company offering a modern model of anything in this scale includes such scanty detail! What Felgercarb!
What will you do about a canopy, I wunda. What happens if you rub the friggin' lamp a second time?

 

[jknaus]

It comes with a canopy. Not sure they have much extra info in 3d kits.

Yep, that's the one!

My PC's SSD died so my OS won't load. Replacement on the way but in the meantime, what do you need? I may be able to access my network through my laptop.

Left side plate done and right side printing. Then to print my customary switches and knobs etc by Anyz to see how much different the new printer is. Every printer has impressed me more each time as the definition goes up. We'll see if there is any change from 12K to 16K resolution.
