I'm sure that once she goes into full operation status, she will have all aircraft with British markings on them.

Oh? Well, I assumed that 3D printers needed heat to melt the plastic and shape it. And I assume that if those 3D printers needed heat, then they would draw some power, so I would assume they use anywhere more or less about the same electricity as a toaster or sandwich toaster, or maybe even a kettle. I would assume 3D printers are the sort of machines that needed a 13amps fuse, and usually anything that needed 13amps fuse are the kind that draws more power.

I have been to the Land Rover Owner International Show in Peterborough back in Sept 2018, and saw something like that on display. A Land Rover, not looking the same as your model, but something like that. And I have to say that... Your models kit does look good, it does feel like it is what it would look like. You've even done well with the spare wheel on the engine hood, by painting it, as the one I saw does show the spare wheel covered up with netting. It is really good and well done job.

We're all modellers (or fans of model kits), we're all in this together... Nobody should judge you on what scale you chose, you are free to be creative, you are free to chose your scale. As we're all fellow modellers, all we care about is looking at each other's models (regardless of scale) and say... "Whoa! Cool!" And I have to agree with @Pete in Lincs that it would just depends on your display space. See how much space you got in wherever you're planning on displaying your build, and figure on a scale that goes well with how much space you got. Best of luck.

Not a silly question, after all, that's what all various forums all over the Internet is there for. If anyone abuse you online for what they think is a naïve question, you have the right to report them to the website's owners. In answer to your question... Yes, but not always for sale. Some people would create a 3D file and upload it to the Internet for others (like you) to download and print. Most would just give the files away for free, to share with others, and most would charge you a cost for using the file. My advice is... First, try to find and download files for free, if there is any available. Just make sure you double-check for virus and the likes, so use your (whatever you got) anti-virus and Internet Security software to check first, before opening and printing. Secondary: If none are available for free, or if the free ones are not up to standard (or maybe wrong model, like a Mk5 instead of a Mk10), then opt for purchasing a file. Yes, you could get hold of a 3D file of a Martin Baker Mk10 ejection seat (assuming if there is one somewhere), for you to load and print. But try to see if there's one available freely, because sometimes there are some files around that are free for use. Buying a file should be a last option. Hope you find what you're looking for.

It may. 3D printers need very hot heat, not just for the nozzle only, but also for the base too. They can be very hot, as hot as a sandwich toaster. In order to product that much heat, the machine would need to use more electricity. Chances are it needed more electricity than an inkjet printer does. I would guess that 3D printers are in the same league as kettles, toasters, microwaves, etc., The kind that needed 13amps fuse. Just my two cents.

WHOA!! That is a great work!! Also, good idea using a blue-transparent-ish tub which looks a lot better. Really amazing work.

It is a great What-If show. The idea of What-If the Russians were the first to land on the Moon, and not only that, but also weeks later during later Moon landing missions, the Russians also had the first woman on the Moon! Giving NASA eggs on their faces, forcing them to make an effort in the race to set up a base on the Moon. It's like watching a live-action What-If model kit!! Many of us tend to try turning our model kits into What-If subject, but to watch a What-If sci-fi show, that's amazing. Good thing I had Apple TV long before Apple TV+ service. I can't wait for Season 2...!!!!

You meant Gloster Meteor used by Martin-Baker? They would have been testing each new improved seats, anywhere from the Mk.1 to the Mk.10 or even later models. I don't think they were limited to the same one seat all the time. If building a model kit, you could have Mk.1 or Mk.2 or Mk.3, or whichever seat you chose, up until the last time they used those planes for testing ejector seats. I can't find out what was the last ejector seat model they tested. Try Google Gloster Meteor WA638 and check the result... https://www.google.co.uk/search?source=hp&ei=-LcKX-ifKtuIjLsPsviFqAs&q=Gloster+Meteor+WA638&oq=Gloster+Meteor+WA638&gs_lcp=CgZwc3ktYWIQAzIGCAAQFhAeUJsLWJsLYOYmaABwAHgAgAFXiAFXkgEBMZgBAKABAqABAaoBB2d3cy13aXo&sclient=psy-ab&ved=0ahUKEwjo-7ntlMfqAhVbBGMBHTJ8AbUQ4dUDCAw&uact=5#spf=1594537983049 Also try Google Gloster Meteor WI419.

Thanks. Here's the board... https://www.pinterest.co.uk/temp47guardforp/whoa-neat-trick/

@tc2324 That is a great work! May I post it in my Whoa! Neat trick! board on Pinterest?

When I was a kid and had a small bedroom, most of the model aircraft would be hanging from the ceiling, to free up room on shelves for model tanks and ships. But sadly, all of my old models are gone. Broken up and ends up in the bin.

Does not mean the F-35Bs will never carry gun pods. The future is not written in stone. It could be possible that MOD, RAF, and FAA don't want the gun pods at the moment. Maybe they're busy training new pilots, still carrying out trails, stuff like that. It takes some time before they're 100% operational. Maybe for the time being, they feel missiles is just enough for whatever job they're likely to face. It is possible that some years later, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, 15 years, whatever. There may be a situation that cause the MOD, RAF, or FAA to make a decision to want the gun pods. Military (from a civilian point of view) is like that. They don't need a specific piece of equipment, then something changed, the public is outraged at the Government, so the MOD decided to that piece of equipment. Or the government and the military themselves learn their lessons, and make U-Turns on their decisions. An example would be, wasn't there some kind of story about a British soldier being killed because he did not have a flak jacket, as there weren't enough around. The wife was outraged, there was a lot of bad press towards the government, then the MOD decided to start trying to get more flak jackets and issue them to every soldiers? Who knows, 10 years later, one of our F-35B got shot down in close quarters, public outrage, inquiry, decision made to have F-35Bs issued with gun pods. There is no way of knowing if the "no plans" is forever, as they can change their mind later on.

Clever!! I had thought of a similar idea years ago, but haven't really bothered. That's a really good work you did there. And it would be cool and clever to have something like that. You can always display it on one side, few months later, you feel bored of the same Squadron markings, so you turn it around to show the other side, gives it a fresh view. Instead of making another model kit in different Squadron markings, you save space by having one kit with two different markings, switch between views every few weeks or months. Like you would change computer or phone wallpaper every few days, weeks, whenever. Good work.

Wow. The waves and the splashes of the water is a good work, must've taken a lot of effort to get it to look right. That's a great work there.
