Vario Bell 429 Build, a pictorial journey

Base white coat was applied. Hanging the model for painting was challenging.

I used a laser to insure panel lines were as close as possible. Panel lines, rivets and the start of 3D printed skid details.

I will note that I knew the printed skid details at the joints would be a risk of cracking under stress. The layering of the 3D process naturally creates fault lines. Getting the CAD software model was mostly trial and error despite the calculations of angles. Once the clear coat is on, you are committed.
