NO RESERVE. We're offering here a beautifully detailed set of two 1/700 scale Boeing B-17C/D heavy bombers that have just come out of the 3D printer! These models represent the early C/D models of the venerable Flying Fortress complete with the tear shape sliding waist gun panels and the ventral "bathtub" gun turret. Although the "G" model was previously offered as an injection molded model by Pitroad and in resin by White Ensign and HP Models, to our knowledge the C/D versions have never been covered. Unfortunately, production of even famous aircraft like the B-17 (particularly in 1/700 scale!) are just too costly given the relatively small size of the audience and the other kits are now out of production and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. We think that these beauties easily rival (and probably exceed) the quality of comparable WEM resin and Pitroad white metal products but we've posted some high resolution photos so you can judge for yourself. Note the 1" yellow squares on the table surface included for scale reference . The wingspan measures just over 1-3/4". While the surfaces are not perfectly smooth (3D printing is done in layers), the plastic used can be sanded and painted much the same way you would handle resin or styrene. The models may still have some oil-like agent on them that needs to be removed by washing read more
