That's the 1/144 scale kit. $1300+ is for the 1/72 kit, according to the owner it is way too expensive to retail so you have to directly order from him.

orionfield Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 We should be able to print it all on our own printer, so we will be making some concessions, such as breaking the fuselage in half in order to fit, but it will result in the lowest possible price for retail version of the kit. Everyone who crowdfunds the kit will still get it for their original $30, but I think this learning experience will probably mean slightly more expensive large aircraft kits in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionfield Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Crowdfund is fully funded! Hopefully will have some CAD screenshots in the next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionfield Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Sorry for the delay. Here is the first draft based on some low res drawings. I am looking for some better ones before moving forward. Just wanted to show some progress. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Has anyone heard any more about this project? No mention of it on their website and no updates since July last year , no pressure intended just wondering how it has gone since the first draft shown above or if the project just did not work out.

Same story with the Yak-9T project, I'm afraid. I contacted OOB Models 2 or 3 times in the interim, but it was always "My programmer went mad and ran away screaming" or "The well went dry" or "The mule died". Lots of good intentions, but there's a road somewhere paved with those... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Last I heard (on another forum) was that they had issues with the CAD software they were using (not compatible with 3D printing process) on the Yak and had to start again from scratch. There is only one person working on the Yak so things have slowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, you seem to have read in "angst" where none was intended. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 What they show above is Catia v5. 3D models created with it can be used for 3D printing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was posted on another forum back on March 11 Being somewhat persistent, I have been in touch with Dan from OOBM and here's an edited version of his latest statement......... Out of the Box is essentially a one-man operation, and this is a side project. I employ a number of freelance engineers to execute the projects, and I manage them all in my free time, but this is not my full-time job. I just don't have the time to update every channel for every project. I want everything we release to be of the highest quality possible, and that takes time. The Yak-9T had to be completely redone because it was not created properly for 3D printing. My chief engineer has been working nonstop to get it printable and the CAD work is almost done. We will get this done and released as soon as we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ka-Efka Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 That's a true statement. You have to follow certain rules to be able to print your CAD Modell. The software will help you, but that's dependent on the software / version (and other stuff...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDGboy Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 In my PayPal this morning was this US$30 refund, so I'd say this project is dead but they are 101% men of their word re refunds. Thanks chaps! https://ibb.co/mvrnm02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionfield Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Just wanted to let everyone know, that the refunds are issued, and this project, like Out of the Box, is officially dead. I am really sorry that we couldn't make it work, there were just a lot more variables than i foresaw going into this. I was really looking forward to the 737 project especially, and am quite upset that we weren't able to finish it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky coffeeboat Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I got my refund too. Sorry to read it didn't work out but huge respect for trying. Thanks, Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madoc Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Dan, Got my refund. I'd rather be getting your kit. But, I understand the problems you've run into that make that impossible. Thanks for being so quick to wrap up these loose ends. Best of luck to you! Madoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
