Maxim61 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Hope it's not old news but just found this on a Facebook page. JSProducts out of Melbourne Australia are working on what looks to be a 3D printed Seaking in multiple scale. Looks like we may get a Seaking in 1/32 scale at last. The printed stuff looks good on their page. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554900021700 scvrobeson, Jan_G, chrish and 6 others 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Kevin Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Looks very interesting, but I'd hate to think what a 1/32 version would cost! Kev Mark P, CRAZY IVAN5, John1 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) My thought exactly. Had a pipe dream that ICM would give it a shot since (I think), some of the bits from their CH-54 kit would be compatible with the Seaking.

I'd prefer injection molded as well but I'll take a 1/32 Seaking anyway I can. A nice high vis USN bird would look great.

LSP_Ron Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 I'd do a 1/32 Canadian one for sure. Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan_G Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 some tests of printed IP on their FB page. https://www.facebook.com/people/JSProducts-WestlandSikorsky-Sea-King-Range/61554900021700/ and comment from JSProducts regarding the planned release schedule: "Mid 2024 is the target window for the CH-124 and Mk 50, followed very closely by SH-3 types, and MK3 back half of 2024. Then the list moves to the various Westland European mk's." iaf-man, Kagemusha, John1 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Confusionreigns178 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 Those cockpit parts look extremely cool, indeed. As much as I would love to buy one, methinks it's going to be very substantial Dollar (and then some). How long will it be before 3-D printed gear simply replaces injection-molded styrene? Happy New Year. Chris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
