Tank model presentation on Artstation

And this one for scale reference :)


Printed my GSh-18 :)

General / 15 August 2022
Recently found in my storage Gsh-18 pistol, printed from my 3d model a while ago (guess in 2018).
GSh-18 on Artstation
I had a Prusa based FDM printer and was very interested would my model, created only using photos, function like a real gun. The original rotating barrel lock made this task more difficult thus exiting Also lot of internal action parts of this gun made of thin stamped forged metal. So it was quite challenging to make them out of plastic so they wont coonstantly break. Of cource I was forced to make them thicker & guess the right direction of filament layouts.

But the most challenging was to make that trigger grout. Made of thin metal it constantly brake. And due it shape changing the direction of filament layouts did not help a lot. The final decision was to reinforce it with thin metal patches and that finally worked.
With some painting on:
Actually as, I supposed, it fits my hand perfecctly. Probably better than any gun I had in my hand :)

Actually, full assembly/disassembly works. I even managed to get the rotating barrel lock working properly. Of cource some changes in 3d model were made mostly due my 3D printer doesn't have needed accuracy and lot of additional tolerance between separate parts needed. Also barrel rotation did not worked properly until I've lengthened the barrel latch part. 

That was a while ago. Now I have new Anycubic Photon printer & have some results with my and free use tank 3d models 1/72 scale printing. I will share it later.
Thank's for whatching :)

MiG-41 in the skies. Maneurability test flights.

General / 11 May 2022

Rusjet team continues to support with great content. 3d vectoring nozzle installed and aircraft performs extreeme mameurability :)

MiG-41 (Project 41) maiden flight

News / 09 May 2022

That day finally come. First MiG-41 true jet RC model in maiden flight. Trully amazing to seeproject, that was born in 2009 upgraded and in the sky.
Still a lengthy fine-tuning phase to go through, but the plane has already shown excellent performance in the sky


And some contruction details  directly from workshop


MiG-41 first model preparations

Making Of / 06 April 2022

Hey! Despite all difficulties first MiG-41 jet prototype is preparing for maiden flight

Planning that first example will bepainted to simulateone of unpainted test examples:

MiG-41 (invented by Alex Yartsev) fuselage master model on primering in RusJet workshop.The aircraft will be equipped with 16 kg thrust jet engine ATJ160SV and uniq 3D thrust vectoring system that will provide an extreeme maneurability  https://www.nexusmodels.co.uk/atj160sv-16kg-thrust-turbine-jet-engine-atj-turbines.html


This guy is already shipped and soon will be installed. Maiden flight expected Spring 2022.
Only hope that damn COVID restrictions won't stop me from being with team in Moscow when it happens :)


MiGs against Mirages. Journal cover

General / 20 January 2022
     My old render, which was chosen as "daily deviation" on DeviantArt years ago is now on "Science & Tech" journal cover. Used to read this journal in my teenage years :) Glad my old render come in handy.

RusJet MiG-41 WIP. Christmas news

General / 20 December 2021

   Christmas and new year time is coming and we continue to finalize current projects of 2021. This year was pretty much decisive for RD team and we can look straight in the future with optimism. Some new big projects are waiting to be published and a lot to be done in 2022.
   On my behalf, I want to congratulate everyone on the upcoming holidays and wish you great success in 2022.
   Cheers guys! :)

   Also glad to share latest news from champion RusJet team. They continue to builda big MiG-41 model and plan to take in the sky on spring 2022.

   We can finally start building the master model because the design phase is almost over. Let's start with the fuselage.

   There were many ideas and suggestions for making a master model.

   It is necessary to take into account many important criteria, ease of manufacture, weight - for ease of use. We stopped at the usual foam insulation from a regular hardware store.

   The 3D model was divided into sections. Each part was made on a CNC milling machine and glued together.

    It is also worth noting that a model plastic was also used, which has a hardness higher than foam. The edges and end contours of the fuselage are made from it for more accurate geometry. 

   The next step is to cover with fiberglass and primer.

Thank's again, guy! You are AWESOME!

RusJet Team builds MiG-41

General / 25 October 2021

 

    In 2010-2011 I worked in a company engaged in the development of interactive training programs for military hardware operators. That was the time where first versiion of my fictional MiG was born in 3d. Somewhere at that time I first learned about RusJet team (https://www.facebook.com/RusjetClub/). The list of their achievements in world championships is more than impressive :)

   I was truly impressed by their Yak-130 aircraft. They won several titles, including the title of world champion with this one. If someone is not enthusiastic enough, I recommend watching these videos:


   A little later, I learned about their new model of MiG-29 fighter. With this model, they also won championships more than once. The details in this are really outstanding.


   All the more my surprise was when I received a letter from the team leader Pavel Lapshov. In it, he spoke very well of my MiG-41 and said that he and the team wanted to build a model based on my design. Needless to say, I didn't mind.

   We talked with Pavel for about forty minutes. He turned out to be a very interesting interlocutor, a person keen on his work. I have given full permission to use my design while maintaining the authorship, and naturally any design changes that will allow it to win in its class.

   Work on the aircraft, which is called Project 41M, is already ongoing. The team hopes to fly the model in the spring of 2022. In the meantime, I can share screenshots of the model being developed and photos from tests flights of a small prototype aerodynamics testing:

   The man on photo - Vitaly Robertus - the chief pilot of the team, six-time world champion in jet models-copies of the Jet World Masters

   It should be separately noted that it is planned to create not a 100% copy model, but a super-maneuverable model with three-dimensional thrust vector control in the so-called F3S class for participation in aerial acrobatics competitions. But the more interesting this whole idea is.


   On behalf of myself and the RenderDock team, I once again wish the RUSJET team, personally Vitaly Robertus and Pavel Lapshov, success in reaching of new goals.
