Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
Carried on with the 1/72 Lincoln conversion after a slight break, engines pretty much done, I'll hopefully have the props done by tomorrow.

First test fit, that’s good enough for me!

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Edited to the correct size, and reprinted. Will test they fit fully tomorrow, but a rough size comparison with the original parts would indicate they’ll be just fine!

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
These have come out alright!! Had to edit the design slightly as it was slightly too wide (my own fault) so that’s been sorted, and the radios have been centred. Will do a final test print tomorrow and check everything fits perfectly.

1/32 Revell Mosquito Mk.iv radio set and control column upgrade parts, they're on the printer now, and if they come out alright and fit nicely, they may be available soon!

Another quick drawing, this will be, once test printed, a replacement control column for the Revell Mosquito Mk.iV 1/32

So for the past couple of weeks, I've been working on a rather large project for the Lancaster. This is still very much a work in progress, but this will convert teh Lancaster, to the Lincoln using the Mk2 kit. I'm following how Avro extended their wing tips, by cutting them 1-2

Lancaster 1/48 nose turret delete for the HK kits. printed one off already, fit was 95% perfect, just needed a slight but more adding to the rear. I've edited the design and the second version is on the printer now.
010
Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 20/08/2026
Completely redrawn the 1/48 nose turret delete as I wasn't happy with the flat section on the top it it. This version is much more naturally rounder. I will test print this evening and see how it fits.

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
The 1/72 & 1/48 GBU-16 have come out perfect, just need to alter the supports on the 1/72 version as they’re a little thin. 1/32 version is nearly done, but looks ok so far.

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 15/08/2026
GBU-16 all supported up and on the printer, will update once they're finished.

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 14/08/2026
GBU-16, just need to add some sacrificial tabs to the fins and test print, but these should be available soon in 1/72-24 on eBay. Potentially 1/16 too if they fit in the printer!

Sherman deep wading kit, design is 99% finalised, just going to add some sacrificial tabs to the lower funnel parts, so it prints perfectly. Parts will be fully 3D printed, rather than part resin, part Photo etch metal. Will be available in 1/35 & 1/48 soon.

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
Rear section printed out after adjusting the supports. All parts fit perfectly, and friction fit together nicely. These are pre production, and I’ll need to add details before the design is complete. Still bloody happy with how the grills have come out!

Work in progress, Sherman Tank deep wading gear. The majority of the work is done. just need to add fine details etc, then test print. Quite happy with the mesh, that's a first for me drawing that, so learnt a new skill doing this one. looking at 1/35 & 48.

Well these have come out perfect!! 1/48 paddle blades for the HK Lancaster Mk1 kit, to convert to the late Mk1 or Mk3. They should be available very soon!

Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 28/04/2026
Redesigned the hub to hopefully fit the HK kit, altered the connecting part to make it thinner to fit in the spinners, without having to modify them. Just need to test print later on.
010
Alscalemodels @alscalemodels.bsky.social · 27/04/2026
So after slightly altering the profile of the propeller, these have printed out perfectly! I’m now going to alter the hub slightly so it’s fully compatible with the 1/48 HK Lancaster to make it Mk3 compatible.
