3D prints and CADs Part 2 - by petition2God

[Petition2God]

Haven’t CADded anything new for a while with all the running.

I got annoyed with Airfix’s Cromwell tank kits (A1373 and A1374) in 1/35 roadwheels having an incorrect number of outer bolts/nuts (6 as opposed to 8), so decided to make a replacement.

Otherwise, they are great kits - the later release A1384 has corrected the problem, however.

I had to compromise some accuracy to fit the kit parts.

Will be uploading the STL file to my cults3d site soon:

Good to see you back at it.

i know how you feel, i also got addicted to running, so i even put aside my modelling

Not really “new”, but someone asked me to upload the 50 cal MG attaching tray with the WWII version of the ammo can, so I did that at my cults3d.com page.

I am going to start selling off some of my overstock 3D prints (+ some 1/35 kits) in the “Buy, Sell, and Trade” section to pay for some medical expenses and start slowly retiring from this hobby.

Hope you heal up fast.

All the best! Really have enjoyed your work and talents thru the years.

Not going away too soon yet. Maybe gradually over the next several years.

Redid the Cromwell tank drive wheel because I did not like the look of the inner diameter after 3D printing:

I think it should be about 1mm wider in 1/35 scale.

So here’s “before” and “after”:

Finally redid the M1008/1009 CUCV brush guard to fit the 1/35 AK kit.
CADed with Fusion 360:
