Looking very good, I did a shark's mouth on a Guillows P40 back in the 70's by hand too, tedious but well worth the effort.

Frisk film is (or maybe was!) a masking medium for airbrushing, a low tack easy to cut self adhesive film, as I am 'old school' it has probably been replaced by something more modern. I have often used the adhesive portion of a 'sticky note' instead as it is quite convenient for small jobs.

Thought I would add some structural strength to the Vampire while simplifying constructing the ducting.
0.4mm wall thickness. In the printer now. Only 5 hours left.... :S :S

Hopefully this image will clear things up as to what I am doing. Here's the Vampire ducting. It was 3D printed at 0.4mm wall thickness. I have some sticky tape holding the 2 halves together for the photo. That's the 20mm EDF fan unit sitting behind it. :)

I am in awe, it is way beyond my knowledge base, I would have to do it in moulded balsa somehow. Hope the central dividing wall close to the fan does not cause it to screech, I have seen it happen on larger edf models.
