Non Commercial and personal use only
The model is 1/144 resin print only and is provided in 3 parts (both supported and none-supported)
- Fuselage + wings
- Engine
- Propeller
I used the supported files for the tests prints and those worked fine for me (Anycubic Mono SE, 0.05mm layer) But might be best to add your own support to make sure it will print fine on your own printer.
I mix my basic resin with about 15% flexible resin to make the model less brittle, this helps the delicate parts to survive the wargaming handling. The engine has some rather small exhausts, so take care when printing and removing the supports.
The support tubes of the plane and the wings are a bit thicker to make those strong enough, the other parts of the model are scaled according to original design drawings.
MG Lewis gun and light bomb rack are not included in the model.
