This is a great project, Tyler! Famous, and beautiful aircraft.
I am glad to see you transitioning from your incredible one-off scratch-built models wth working parts to designing a model. I am surprised that no one has designed a Comet 1. There was once a Comet 4 designed by Comet Studios and buillt by Forum member scon10. Unfortunately the images have disappeared from scon10's thread: DeHavilland Comet-4 by Comet Studios Forum member Lex designed and built a Comet 4, which he made available in the Forum: Designing the De Havilland Comet-4 De Havilland Comet 4B 1:100 https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/...downloadid=385 https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/26595-post44.html And once again, scon10 (master of airliners) built it: Building the De Havilland DH-106 Comet 4 Now, finally, comes your project, Tyler. Very best wishes for success. Don Last edited by Don Boose; 07-25-2023 at 09:30 AM. |

I think, that previous threads can be found by clicking my avatar, going to staistics and then find all threads started by scon10.

That is a beautiful model; same aircraft G-ALYP that I am modeling!
Its interesting to see how various elements of the design were treated, which likely will influence how I assemble mine. No new photos today. I spent a disgusting amount of time over the last several days learning how to do all kinds of things in Fusion 360 that I had never previously attempted. If anything, this project will force me to greatly increase my skills in CAD. For example, I have been trying to draw the wing. Two modified NACA profiles were used for the inboard and outboard sections of the wing. So, I had to find those profiles then once I had found them I realized that I didn't know how or have a clue of how to get them into Fusion 360. Some searching revealed that I had to install some plug-ins to allow this to be done. And after much trial and error I was able to import a DAT file of the map of the NACA profile, but it wasn't in the right plane or offset where I needed it to be, or enlarged to the correct dimension. By the end of the day I had managed to figure all of this out and had successfully placed the outboard profile at the correct location in the model. So, from there it should be a relatively simple process to geometrically locate the other profile, scale both of them up and down as need be for wing ribs, and develop the geometry of the engine nacelles. I should have some more photos in a day or so.
