3D Printed Andover -is is worth it?


HP42

Recommended Posts

You're a brave man Iain. Having flown in  a couple of Andovers, I would love to have a model of one,,,but 1:32!!!!  Where would you put it when built?

S&M models have done a resin Andover in 1/72, but I considered it too expensive. All I want are representative models of the aircraft I've flown in and a 1/144th Andover would suit me fine, so hoping someone like Mikro Mir or Mark1 will do one.

I have to be honest, I'm seriously considering the same manufacturer's Saro Princess, although I doubt I have anywhere to store it once assembled...

Customs charges would be more than I usually pay for a kit !

Might always strike lucky , my  Andover sneaked through without being caught.

Received mine and it looks very well thought out.  The big issue I see is the smoothing out of the 3d printing lines.  Done the first layer of filler and sanding - going to be more.  On the details - these might help....

Yes it is printed on soiled sheet but full instructions are given how to use it.

 Arrived this morning , very nice.

 

Great service taking about a week from NZ to UK , was wondering if they were going to take a while when I read the warnings he gives about post on his website but no problems at all.
