CAC Wirraway – Part Two – The Grind Begins

With a grinding…

Specifically, inside the wings and the fuselage, Both these areas have cast re-enforcements running diagonally over their rough plastic. I suspect they are extra conduits for the molten styrene to flow through so that sufficient bulk of material reaches past thin areas.

Other makers may design sprue tree elements outside of the main outlines to feed the plastic inwards – High Planes has done the opposite with a very thick main tree element feeding outwards. I don’t know the pressure at which the machines worked but I do know the plastic is fairly soft and reasonably rough.

There were only two sink marks found over the whole of the kit.
