Sturmovik Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 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. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 Just got the decals for the Dagger. This is the aircraft I'll be doing, C-408. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opus999 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 These look really good. Do you get the files from somewhere, or do you create them yourself? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 @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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sturmovik Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 The Dagger has been finished. Now to save for another 1:32 Bf 109G (Sturmovik building German planes? Shocking). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Spadgent Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Great looking aeroplanes. I was going to ask the same as @opus999 but I have my answer. Do you happen to know how they are printed. Is it resin or plastic? Johnny 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic Mike Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I can see the attraction for 3D modellers (the people who do the digital work) to construct the shape files, particularly for unkitted airframes, but why would you do such a common thing as a 1/32 bf-109? Not criticising, just curious! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
