Phase "A"
Target
As the gathering process is just in progress, we decided to do the
planes definition per entry - every competitant will join with his
own plane for built of the WII aera.

As I decided for a 1:10 Hawker Typhoon built for the Foamy Warird
Scratchbuilt Contest, I now try to prepare for "B"

Sources

So I started with gathering some blueprints out of the web:

http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/typhoon.html

http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/typhoon-2.html

http://www.airwar.ru/other/draw/hawkertyphoonsol.html

For to get a rather good base to setup the construction I imported the
blueprints projections into CAD and scaled them up to a normed size

Spacers and rips are now copied using SPLINES ( polynomes of higher order)
and arranged to a first raw skeleton

As the informations content in the blueprints is rather low for a -not structure identical- built I had to interpolate some additional information ...
the "mill" is intersected with the spacers arrangement and so gives a cloud of additional points for stringer allocation.

Ok, I meshed the skeleton and lofted a pair of wings for the raw surface model... That is all for today!!

Here is just another perspective shade....
Next will be to get a proposal from this data...

Subscribed... Interesting project.

I wasn't able to stop progress, yet

Now here a first rendered proposal with a kind of primitive skin!

I'm betting this will be a sweet flyer.

Thanks to both of you -that's what I hope for

Next step was to separate the spherical curves into straight elements - to be hot wire cut!!
Here is an exploded assembly drawing with the 1st level parts to create ...

Alright Harpye, your on! I'm already learning, looks like I'm gonna do a Typhoon as well, but mine is gonna be a bubble top version. Should I start a new thread?

A new thread would be nice!
After all participants have opened a thread for each I will gather them all together by links into a lead thread which will be closed after entry to everyones way to find all threads is the same...

Good luck on yours!!!

Looks great Hans!
