tail fin/rudder
for those who remember, i did the tail fin/rudder of the A-4F SKYHAWK with shadow effecst for the gradual moving surface, but you don't know that i did actually also 3D version of those gradual moving surface.
i kept it in secret till the time i built it and see if it fits properly to the model.
i am not sure, but i think this A-4F PAPER MOSEL is the only one with 3D gradual moving surface.
so here is the file with the 2 options of the gradual moving surface, with shadow effect and with 3D option.
YOAV
the tail fin/rudder file
now is the time for the hard work.
i work on this moving surface and the tail fin about 5 hours, including fixing the file during the work and taking pictures to document the process.
as i told you once, i hate little parts.
the first step is the formers of the tail fin
the parts of the moving surface
to make the work easier on the little parts, i took a toothpick and made his edge flat and square.
first i made slots on the little part and after that i put it on the flat toothpick so he will get flat and square shap all along.....see in this picture.
this is the 3D gradual moving surface
I smoothed the front part to make it straight with a nail file.
now he is ready to installed
now we go back to the tail fin.
I removed the desired part from the tail fin.
