Hawker Hart (for 3d printing)
« on: August 20, 2019, 12:09:12 AM »

To make a change from tanks and trucks and things, I've put together this 1/100 scale model of a Hawker Hart light bomber in Blender. I've got the first test-print on the printer as I type this, so we'll see how it fares in a few hours.

I started this quite some time ago, but I really didn't have a handle on how to deal with smoothly curved shapes in Blender. I'm a bit better at it now, so I've finished it off.

The Hawker Hart was the RAF's best and most effective light bomber of the 1930s, being substantially faster than any of the biplane fighters in service at the time (such as the Bristol Bulldog, for example). It was so good that a single-seater fighter was developed using pretty much the same airframe, the Hawker Fury, and the first biplane fighter to break the 200 mph barrier (223 mph (359 km/h) at 16,500 ft (5,000 m).

The STLs are available from Wargaming3d.com at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/hawker-hart-light-bomber/ for home 3d printing, or if you don't have access to a printer, you can get it from Shapeways at http://shpws.me/Rq8O

I look forward to seeing the test print, Fitz!
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

And in the NWF. And, incidentally, in the Swedish Airforce, deloyed as dive bomber B4.
