Just stumbled at Ebay acrosse a vendor offering 3D printed kits of an 1/32 scale V-22 Osprey and a number of even larger 1/18 kits of the Moskito, Harrier, Super Hornet, Intruder, Goshawk and the Fw-190. Also a good share of sci-fi kits as well as extralarge 1/6 kits to fit to action figures. Black Hawk door someone?

 

Well, nice collection. So who now has the guts and workspace to tackle one of these? :punk:

 

 

Not related to the seller, just watching the wonderful world of Ebay sellers and model vendors.

I got a few of the 1/18 prebuilt when they came out.  And Dave is right.  I had three and they just looked too toyish next to my built models.  Sold one, got a Stuka still hanging and an Avenger sitting in the corner.   Now a 1/18 Phantom?  I might be tempted.  But not at those eBay prices. 
Oh, and the space.  Yea, too big.  Phantom would probably go on a pole out in the yard.

It's a case of " garbage in garbage out" unless the designers know the subject or get proper information this is the normal outcome. 3D in not the holy grail unless accurate dimensions and shapes are used then it can be great !!

I have a 1/8 scale 3D printed Stearman waiting in cue.  It will be a ceiling hangar in my shop when done.  But I have to get my shop built in my barn first, as well as my model room in mancave in house.  We just moved in a couple months ago.

I need more info on this! Not that I’m in the market, but I just love everything Stearman.

I try to support such enterprise whenever I can and as far as my budget allows. But I expect the producer must do his homework right and give me a good kit. I can tolerate the production media's or material's shortcomings and rectify these during build as much as I can, however I would not bother with any kit with so many shape issues.

 

Some products listed -the Star Wars stuff in particular- look better than others but some are really miles away from the real shape. That is not what I would accept when it comes to such price tags.
