Alexander GrivonevJust amazing, especially the 3D pronted parts 👍 Thought for a long time about the endless possibilities of this technique in our hobby, never went beyond "thoughts". How long did it take you to master the skill or a simpler question, where do I even start?

Alexey KulaginAlexander G., Thank you! Well. I'm in 3D modelling since i got my first PC in 2004. 14 years i was learning 3DS Max and other 3D application. To make components for scale modelling you need to learn some 3D editor. 3Dsmax, Maya, maybe SketchUp. Best option to learn NURBS or Hard body modelling softwares, as they used by most companies for CNC machining. But i used to polymodelling too much. And other good thing to learn is Photogrammetry. It is hard to learn, as there is not many info on how to use special programs , but you can learn it if dig deep enough. In terms of printer - only DLP or SLA 3D printers will work for scalemodelling. Cheap chinese LCD SLA will also work... It is not as hard as i describe, but definitely need many time...

Alexander GrivonevYeah I already assumed this is a HUGE field and there is not an easy way in, you have to know what you are doing.
Благодарю за информацию!

TreehuggerIf using Shapeway for 3D printing, maybe good idea to try create multiple landing gears for a range of kits, at least some copies, so that it all won't be too expensive for just creating a few parts for one single scale model kit.

Alexey KulaginAlexander G. Не за что😉
Laurent HELLER-forever, thanks!
Treehugger I have my own 3D printer for prints, but yeah it is still better to print whole table with models. I hope sometime people will buy such many kits from me so i would need that print speed)

Bernhard Schrock!!!! Absolutely stunning! Do you have created the 3D files yourself? Do you plan to print the landing gear in 1:48 too? By the way: excellent aggressor & top airbrus-job!!!

Łukasz GlińskiVery nice build 👍, wish there were more 3D sets to come in the future for the 1/72 kits

Bart GoesaertNice work with the 3D-prints. Did you print these yourself, or did you order these. How was the pricetag approx?

AugieSuperb work with the parts, but I have to ask, is it me or is the canopy a little "shallow"
8 February 2019, 12:28
Alexey KulaginBernhard Schrock, Thank you! Yes, all 3D files i made myself. And printed them also. I can easily rescale them in 1:48, but i need some information on which model they should be done, or simply made them as they are in real life, and let modeller think, how to install them on his kit.
Łukasz Gliński, Thanks! I will gladly provide more kits! Suggestions of which exactly kits needed will help to made them quicker😉
Bart Goesaert, thank you! I print them by myself, so can't tell you what is exact price of each...
Augie Thank you! Well if you mean front part size - yes, hobby boss give it shorter than it should, Italery have this thing more correct.

Andor TóthCool build!
I was wondering if the belly was camouflaged, but your last picture reveals: the paint instruction of HB is simply incorrect...

Pierre-Christian BaudruGreat job on landing gear new parts ! Do you think you can do teh same regarding the air intake parts ? I think these parts have not the correct shape on this kit. Cheers.

Alexey KulaginAndor Tóth, thank you! Yeah - first rule - 'Never trust instructions!'))
Pierre-Christian Baudru, thanks! Well, basically - almost whole kit needs fixes here and there.. Yes, i think i can make proper air intake and exhaust nozzle parts. Not sure that i could make as thin as it should be in scale , but for sure i can make them and thinner and proper shaped. I already have thoughts on making whole kit tbh..) Currently working on Mi-2 kit, if it will end up as a good kit to build - will make F-5 also.
