Diversions makes the model


By now all you folks know that Kevin Knox owns a company called DIVERSIONS ............(http://www.kevinknox.com/) and sponsored and built the body at Plastec.
And you most likely know that he is very talented and possesses every high tech toy in his grasp.
You will also remember that he did the 3D engineering drawings for the build of the Goldenhawk. Well here is the first solid plastic absolute to scale model, which he made on his (FDM?) rapid prototyper (3D printer). Notice that it has a Sabre jet type tail on it to see what it would look like. However we chose to stay with the original tail for a couple of reasons. Today I sprayed it gold, although it is not sanded prior to paint it still looks good. Watch for the larger model with full decals to be available for the collectors and fans. The final models will be cast in metal and also in plastic. Prices will be reasonable.
