Couple of months ago I have launched an A-12 Oxcart build based on 1:72 Italeri/Testors kit. Although I did significant progress on the kitbash I was not quite happy with never ending sanding/filling process which you can follow in below thread: After getting my 3D resin printer as birthday gift from my wife and daughters I have decided to print first the kit replacement parts. But of course I need to have the digital models to print out. Therefore I have started to search best reference drawings to be used in 3D modelling. Also I have imported my own 3 view drawings to CAD. This will be very challenging project and at the end I hope the result will worth all the efforts 🤔 By the way, I did not give up A-12 kitbash. It continues in parallel 😁 I hope you will enjoy this adventure and share your comments about the progress. Serkan

Hi everyone, Since couple of months I have received many questions whether there is going to be any fully 3d printed Blackbird in 1:32 scale. I decided to give a try if this achievable with my current toolset and created 3d models. I have launched already a topic in another modelers forum (LSP) but I would like to share my progress here as well because all these Oxcart/Blackbird modeling works have been reported in detail in this forum. At the beginning I was not sure which aircraft I am going to build. To have an idea how big the parts going to be and which one is to be built, I have printed the nose cones of YF-12A, A-12 and SR-71A: I decided to build YF-12A because SR-71A's cockpit details and seats have not been modeled yet and I have some 1:48 A-12 derivatives in progress. I have started first printing the relatively smaller parts using my Elegoo Mars 3 printer. The cockpit parts, main and nose wheels and hubs were printed. Next parts are the wheel bays and struts.

Hi guys, Here is my Italeri 1/48 YF-12A. A old kit from 1983 with a lot of flaws but I chose to build it pretty much out of the box since the size is impressive enough. There are a lot of aftermarket goodies for it but most are quite expensive so chose to go OOB. I only added new seats and wheels and off course new decals since the kit ones weren't useable anymore, Caracal decals came to the rescue. Erik
