@Matt Thank you for the heads up.

I think 3d printer might struggle to re-create smaller things like bolt heads.
I have the Jetmads kit of the Viggen and I am happy with it, but not at all the same quality as regular injection molded plastic. I thought the 1:32 wheel detailing was a little too fuzzy imo.

A trick to try deal with stepped surfaces, is carefully applying thinned Vallejo putty, that fills in the stepping in the resin. Some work required. The stepped resin, isn't always all over the model, some parts seem smooth. Ah I remember it now. The Viggen kit is part cast resin and part 3d printed (with some kind of resin). The cast resin is more smooth (but molds made with 3d printer perhaps?) and the 3d printed stuff is stepped and so a little uneven.

I am proficient with making 3d models on a computer, but so far, I don't see 3d printers being good enough to warrant my interest. I could like, make whole models with ease, just takes a little time.

Btw, I am reminded of some resin parts (propellers) for a plane, that is supposed to be more accurate, but obviously had wrong dimensions, so why sell that stuff? 😄 Worst one yet for scale model product must be the big HobbyBoss Dora railway cannon kit, which is 98% imagination and highly inaccurate. Presumably there doesn't exist any drawings of that thing, and HobbyBoss did not have any time to even try model accurate proportions, anywhere. I spent a year making good progress making my own scale drawing for that thing, based on photos, and the only presumed single accurate measurement, 30000mm between two hinge spots. The one and only thing accurate proportion in that kit I think.

Great stuff. Have this on my wish list to do too.

Inspiring, really nice job.
