I remember that on my first try (16th version). I didn't consider the side profile of the nose needed to be longer from the 2D plans. Easier on the second bigger DUKW (lesson learned). I spent many hours fixing the little one's nose.MonsieurTox wrote: ↑Fri Nov 07, 2025 11:55 pm I was not happy with the shape of the nose. The middle was not going low enough so I had to correct the profile to get a more accurate look.
The more I looked at it the more it was bugging me so I had to find a plan.
It ended to be a 3 days of work (about 25 hours, from start to finish, redoing the CAD, printing the parts, cutting the hull etc...)
