why would you do such a common thing as a 1/32 bf-109? Not criticising
I'll be buying the Revell Bf 109. Mainstream kits will still be from known manufacturers. 3d printed models will remain as my primary source for Argentinian planes (Super Etendard, Mirage Dagger, Pulqui 1 and 2, Tracker). Unless I can go back to Hannants, order the Kinetic kits and pick them up from their London shop.

Is it resin or plastic
According to this article , It's PLA plastic (polylactic acid). It all sounds like 16th Century alchemy to me.

The Dagger reached the finish line yesterdy. Y gluing the canopy. Now I'll save for a new 1:32 Bf 109G-10.

The Dagger has been finished. Now to save for another 1:32 Bf 109G (Sturmovik building German planes? Shocking).

@opus999 I don't print them myself. I buy them from Kosmosur 3D, who has the printer and makes them in separate parts to be glued together.

I got the Dagger, but didn't take photos until yesterday because I was more focused on recording the build video for yt. Here are two after finishing painting the model.
The black areas on the lower surface are the gun channels. They were masked and painted.

Forget 1:24, 1:18 is the real man's scale!

Heads up, the wingroot is an awful fit. Use a spreader bar to reduce the gap and then filler.
Also, Hasegawa has re-released their 1:48 Fw 190A-4 in the same Winter scheme but with decals for Walter Nowotny's plane.

That's a very pretty and colourful Mosquito. No paint ridges, those are the benefits of an airbrush.

Heinkel He 178?
Airfix must be referring to the first operational jet aircraft. As far as I know, the Me 262 was the first one, the He 178 being just a test plane.

the Meteor was the first jet-powered aircraft to appear in the skies over Europe towards the end of WWII
Wasn't that the Me 262?

I like how the 75s came out. I may try your technique on an aircraft I don't have decals for.

The new kit: an F-35A in 1:48.

Your model reminds me of the Ocean Sunfish. What paint scheme will you choose?

How do I remove if that is the best option.
If the paint ia water based, use isopropyl alcohol to remove it.

Just got the decals for the Dagger.
This is the aircraft I'll be doing, C-408.

1/48 F-4C/D
A downscale of their 32nd Vietnam Phantom?

Please let it be a new tool early Skyhawk in 1:48! Lots of interesting markings with a wide array of operators (Argentina cough cough).

Hello guys,
In this thread I'll be posting all the 3D printed models I'll be building. 3D printing is still a young branch in the hobby world. There aren't many threads dedicated to this style of modelling on BM.
As a way to introduce the thread, here are three models I assembled and painted.
The first one is an A-4B in 1:72. The aircraft is marked as C-207. This model was gifted to my therapist as a way to thank her for everything she did for me.
These two are I.A.e 33 Pulqui 2s in 1:48 scale. The first one was painted in a scheme which doesn't follow any conventional rules. I just wanted to see how it looked with some coats of paint.
The second Pulqui 2 was painted in the more realistic scheme of the F-86F-40 Sabres Argentina used till the 70s.
Anyway, I hope to see you guys comment on this thread. Next aircraft will most likely be a 1:48 Mirage V "Dagger" as C-408 in the "last flight of the Mirage" in Argentina.

Which variant? If talking about the mainstream A and C, Revell has done the A-1, A-4 and C-6b.
-
Maybe a new tool 1:48 A-4B/Q Skyhawk? That would be neat.

Didn't know our Panthers had those fences. I completely ignored that detail when building mine.

junked all my Revell Spits
Did you really throw to the garbage your Revell models due to some dimension errors? You could have gifted them to me.

I second the option for the 109 with red rudder.

They're wrong because the engine is not properly fitted. It's upside down. On the front, the cone (or whatever it's called, is it crankcase?) should have the longer part pointing up.
Edit: On a closer inspection, yes, the exhausts aren't placed correctly. Left and right should be swapped.
