The Empty Sprue

So.... I did a thing!

Its been a long while since Ive done any modeling, and this task was the last place I got hung up on with the F-105 build.

Since I have to drill a hole for the axle to go into the wheel hub, I wanted to be totally sure that the hole would be drilled perfectly straight.

So, I created this jig to use for drilling a perfect hole in the ResKit resin wheels hubs. The jig rests flat against the outer rings of the hub, and the recess allows for clearance of the raised details in the center of the hub, the long tube will keep the hand drill bit perpendicular.

Im gonna try a test print tonight

Turning attention to these awesome ResKit resin wheels and tires for the F-105. The detail on these normally mundane aircraft parts is really impressive, right down to the fine print on the sidewalls
