Royboy 1,235 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 This model is superb! I wonder if it's such a big step to step up to limited run IM kits for him? Certainly should increase his sales from the non resin builders. I'm certainly tempted here! Jan_G 1 Link to post Share on other sites

europapete 188 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 OMG, this looks AWESOME! If this is how kits will be made now we are in for some real treats. Regards, Pete in RI Rick Griewski 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Zac I think 3D printing is already revolutionising the hobby. With the quality your achieving perhaps it's the way forward for some manufacturers now. Lovely stuff, please keep them coming!

Rick Griewski 3,828 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 If you have never tried resin then be tempted. These new technology resin kits fit together very well. The incessant underwater sanding to reduce dust just to make parts fit (and with filler) is gone. My Dragon Rapide kit looks like a great styrene kit but needs CA glue. It’s not Tamiya but Tamiya Marketing Department is not interested in this aircraft. The industry now needs to work on reducing cost. This kit will be a Christmas present for sure. mozart 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think the missing link with 3D printing is going to be clear transparencies. Once those are accomplished, the sky's the limit! Or, someone has already accomplished this and I have been under a rock. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA Rick Griewski 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Kev I can say for me, Vac-form canopies is what keeps me away from several subjects. I've tried many times, but just can't seem to master the process. I'm sure I'm not alone, unfortunately. It keeps my away from many kits that I would otherwise love to have and build some day. That's the only thing keeping my away from Lukgraph's Dragon Rapide. But, if we could 3D print clear canopies... think of the possibilities! Those 1/32 B-24 turrets would be a breeze. Maybe some day I'll get better at vac-form stuff, but it hasn't happened yet. - Dennis S. Thornton, CO USA scvrobeson, Pup7309 and LSP_Kevin 3 Link to post Share on other sites
