The listings for the D-Region Tomahawk parts are *here* (see: www.shapeways.com/shops/cespedesign-multimedia ), about one-third of the way down the "screen-page." Our member "Raygun" owns and runs Aerobotix ("YORFers helping YORFers"). While everyone has different scale size preferences (some model railroaders like HO gauge, while others prefer N gauge), for me a BT-50 size D-Region Tomahawk is just right.


Thanks for the info.

I don't know the length of the wraps. Mine came apart in water and I ended up painting the bands.


Nice! Thanks for that!

Funny thing... I just looked at my sim, and I had the length of the fins as... 4.0 inches exactly!

Cool!
