dutik Posted Saturday at 03:45 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:45 PM 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? Not related to the seller, just watching the wonderful world of Ebay sellers and model vendors.

Paul2660 Posted Saturday at 04:22 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:22 PM Fw-190 looks a bit over done? At least the panel lines. But it’s a start to where I figure the whole paradigm shifts to in the future. Paul Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Roof Posted Saturday at 04:26 PM Share Posted Saturday at 04:26 PM The V-22 is way off in almost every area and the 18th scale stuff just look like toys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejet Posted Saturday at 05:23 PM Share Posted Saturday at 05:23 PM Does the 190 kit really have a reversed swastika moulded in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted Saturday at 05:35 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 05:35 PM Yes, it's weird and wonderful stuff, isn't it? Regards - dutik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY IVAN5 Posted Saturday at 08:07 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:07 PM Nah, I'll pass on these ones. Even if they would've done a good job on them , I don't have the space for them, but we may see more of this in the future. Archimedes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottsGT Posted Saturday at 09:38 PM Share Posted Saturday at 09:38 PM (edited) 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.

Violator1991 Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM Share Posted Saturday at 10:02 PM I would love to have the 1/32 V-22. The problem is... well... unfortunately the inaccuracies hurt my eyes D Bellis, Gazzas and KiwiZac 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob MDC Posted Saturday at 11:56 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:56 PM 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 !!

JimRice Posted Sunday at 04:55 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:55 AM 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.

mattcour Posted Sunday at 12:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 12:14 PM 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.
