Was starting on the bottom bulb holder cover but its doing my head in so will have a go at the lense holder instead .

Now added the glass holder for the Revi 12 Gunsight

What thickness glass is that sized for?

g.

Its 5mm glass at 57mm wide with a 1.5mm notch each side at the bottom by 90mm high.

You might want to create an alternate version that'll take 6mm glass - that's a common thickness of acrylic in the US. A quick search didn't locate any 5mm sources in the US.

g.

Can easily reedit the model and put it up as 6mm :)Also done now is the mount that attaches it to the Panel outrigger bracket.

Revi 12 gunsight fixed now to take the 6mm acrylic glass.Bit more added is the bulb cover which is a WIP.

Also done and up ready is the 4 parts to the early Spitfire and Hurricane gun buttons.

For Scifi guys is this replica BSG Viper stick in Black ABS Nylon.Is hollow to allow adding buttons and wiring.Designed off measurements from an Ov-10 Mohawk stick that was used in the originals..

Nearly finished if anyones interested in some more Luft stuff.

I should've expected this.

How high is the lettering? I've got a .25 J-Head that should do a good job on the lettering. I've ALSO got a pair of four position 30 degree detent rotary switches sitting on my desk. You beat me to it.

g.

Quick and the dead Its a WIP as the lettering should be an engraving by 1mm..My design software is a real PITA when in comes to curved faces Must get that k Panel done too..Sleep???

Mein Gott its dark in here!!!

Printed engraving is a crapshoot. I printed a mag switch cover that was totally wrong dimensionally and the letter engraving didn't come out so well with my .40 nozzle.

If you're using SolidWorks, embossing text along a curve isn't that difficult. I've done it before (with some assistance). If you're interested, I can ping my SW guru and ask him to help me write up a tutorial on the process.

g.

Yes I found that out with the UC indicator for the Spit.You will lose a bit of crispness with 3D printing.By engraving a bit deeper it makes the text come out a bit better for when you paint it.

Cheers mate thanks I can send you the SLT file for the Mag switch that I have already if you want to play with it
