2707-200 3d model

[blackkite]

Awesome! Those side profiles would make good book marks.

;D

If you will complete more realistic project such as L-2000 and B2707-300........

My God

It's gorgeous!

Not to bad you did a great job. ;D

Hey Ronnie ;D Cheers mate, thanks.
Here two more :

That PanAm one is especially nice.

That PanAm one is especially nice.

You can just imagine it being still used for some secondary routes in the world of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I love them! But now I have to bring out the spelling and grammar police; I know you meant "comfort", not confort and it should also read "times" for five times faster, not time. I'm just letting you know, as I don't think English is your first language, although I'm not sure, and it could just be the result of typing too fast.

That's going to make great wall paper on my PC.

Also the plural of aircraft is aircraft, not aircrafts.

 

[galgot]

Oh well :... Sorry , corrected now. Thanks !
Note I would have done as much faults on a Air France add ...

Straight to my desktop, that Pan Am bird! It's awesome!

Amusing corrections, but I think we would have preferred it fixed with the original wording. There was no criticism intended.

 

[JohnR]

Small technical question, but what was the purpose of the small "spoilers" (I can't think of a proper technical name for them) behind and below the canards?

And may I add absolutely beautiful jobs, which I had your skill.

Thanks and regards.

Thanks. Being no aerodynamist I've checked Wikipedia for "fuselage strakes" :
"On both supersonic and subsonic types, smaller strakes are sometimes applied to the forward fuselage to control the fuselage flow at high angles of attack ; for example the Concorde SST has small nose strakes "to get a better directional stability".
Note they are not present on the 2707-100 (without canards). So maybe had to do with redirecting the airflow after the canards at certain AoA ?

Sure, no problem.

/sigh...

Beautiful work there!

That design was from a time when aerospace guys still had the freedom to think big!

 

[Sferrin]

I find myself wondering if our resident 2707 modeller had anything to do with this:

[galgot]

Nope a -100 is on my to do list tho...

 

[Trident]

OMFG... sferrin's comment in the YF-23 topic in Aerospace brought me here - I'm salivating! What an exquisite model!

Great work, Galgot!

 

[Trident]

Having drooled over the renders you've posted so far, what I think you need to do next is the classic "Boeing Shot" - house colours, with iconic Mt. Rainier as the back drop:

[galgot]

Thanks Trident, indeed i have To do one with Mt Rainier!

 

[Nick Sumner]

Absolutely amazing. Hysterical applause!

 

[HondaVT600]

Absolutely beautiful! Out of curiosity, would it be possible to put this model into a game like Flight Simulator 2020?

Thks. No idea if that would be possible. Never done models for FS.

Aer Lingus had options on two. One would almost certainly have been called St Patrick like the 747-100. Google Images Aer Lingus Boeing SST and my models come up. I resisted the temptation to call it Bishop Len Brennan.

The model is made with blender. It's possible to export to FSX format : https://www.fsdeveloper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Blender2FSX_Toolset_manual

It's tremendously detailed however, so it'd need seriously reducing in polygon count.

I think I posted them before but here are my two Aer Lingus SSTs. The first is the 100 version. The other two are the 200 version. They were made in the Philippines.
They were made to look like the Pacific Miniatures models given to airlines by Boeing.
The swing wing versions were dead by 1968 nd the 300 version looked more like the Lockheed contender.
Model aircraft collectors are divided on the subject of "what-if" models. Most dislike them and prefer actual types and liveries.
I have compromised as these are models of models.

Thoroughly annoyed I have not commented on this masterpiece yet. It is bleedin' fantastic. To coin an old "Only fool's and horses". Luvvly jubbly.

 

[Archibald]

Absolutely beautiful! Out of curiosity, would it be possible to----

- get the final 2707-300 variant ?

I thought Aer Lingus only used Connie - I mean, Lockheed Constellations ? (runs for conver once again !)

 

[tlear0412]

Any updates on this? I have some renders of my own I'd like to share (shameless gratuitous humble-bragging, yes), but thought I'd like to see more of the work already posted here first.

My only observation would be that the airlines would have to use high-value, lighter shades and light gray or white undersides when painting, like with the Concorde. I enjoyed the Braniff render!

 

[Arkid77]

Any news on this model, its the best 2707 model I've seen

 

[bols59]

Thanks ,
It must be the Revell kit then, Just found one on ebay last week

Was surprised by the size of the box. It's a pretty crude kit though, and a -100… Monogram did a -200 at smaller scale, but hard to find and expensive !!
The more I think about it, indeed would be nice to have a good -200 model.
Finished unwrapping the mesh, now baking some ambient occlusion maps, then will start "painting" the thing. Here the first map at small scale :

I had a tin model of this in the late 1960s.

 

[eagledocf15]

Well, I said no to the idea of using that very model for 3d printing. I could use it as template to do one optimized for 3d printing though…
Problem is size, at 318 feet long for 2707-200, 96.92m, that would make 67cm long at 1/144, 1.34m at 1/72, 2m at 1/48 ! if my counts are correct...
Not doable in 3d printing (or very very expensive…). So maybe resin, but I have zero experience with that, or yes injected plastic… but who would do that ?
I think that's why revell took 1/200 for their, and even then, it's the size of a 1/72 WWII bomber model. At that size it's maybe doable in 3d printing.



Yep thanks

I would love to know if a 3D model was produced and how to get one to the files. Thank you

I have read this a couple of times and I can do. I'm currently getting close to finishing the 3D model for my 48th scale P-8A. I'll be printing the fuselage and the wings with my FDM printer and detail parts in resin. It's going to be big and will have to print it in several small parts.
My model will include separate control surfaces and engraved panel line. with a 30in (ish) wing span, it's going to be a big model.
With all that said, I have been thinking about doing a 2707 in 72 scale using along ha same lines.
I've been a modeler for 42 years and I have over 25 yeas doing 3D in Autocad and I have also been thinking of doing this as a series of YouTube videos to show my drawing process and who know, someone may accidently learn something from me.

Thanks Happy you like it.So, I had some bad luck with that model... Wanted to do some high res textures to be able to make closeup renders. then in the middle of working on the second one (aft fuselage,underside and wings) my computer video card failed :/ learned it's a known problem on this machine type Vid card (late 2011 MacBook Pro) , so it will go back to Apple next week and dunno when I'll get it back. For time being working on a older spare machine, and it's of course longer to work on the textures or make renders.Anyway , worked on the aft diffuse map today. No bump and specular maps on the aft part for now…Here the status of the "prototype" on the "tarmac" :

Cheers

Wait, I didn't realize there were inboard flaps! (where's the "mind blown" emoji?)
