Vince Maddux Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) Just thought I'd post my first test print of my 1/48 King Air project. I really don't know why I picked this plane, but I just had to have one in my collection. I still have some fine tuning to do on it..

phantom Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Outstanding! You could market this!! I would buy one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Maddux Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I hate to disappoint anyone that wants one but I'm really not making this for market. I'm still learning the ups and downs of 3D printing and drawing the plane in 3d took over 250 hours. plus the few parts you see took 11 hours to print and I still have landing gear,props and a cockpit to print. One big thing about 3D printing is it really doesn't produce a smooth surface , you can still see the layering of the plastic in that parts. Nothing that Mr Surface and or a thick primer and sanding can't fix. That's fine for me the model builder to do the extra work but I don't think its fair to sell a model with a rough finish to you the customer . Although, if I can make something good enough to market I would like to pair up with a resin caster. That way I can finish a polish the parts before they are cast and you would get a nice resin model out of it. But I do appreciate everyone that has shown interest in getting one.

Alternative 4 Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I for one love the king air, especially in RAAF colours. One question, do you get surface detail like panels lines? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Hey, Vince! I too would purchase one, especially if there is the option for a C-90/T-44 Pegasus version. Carry on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
