Attack Squadron have announced that they are to release three sets of 3D printed parts, for three totally different aircraft, a World War I one, a helicopter and a pre-war Poland design.

The first line of Attack Squadron news for this year are 3D printed accessories. Printing technology allows you to make precise 3-dimensional model that does not require assembly of small parts. This is particularly important for modeling of the supporting structure of the model interior. See what sets prepared for start of series.


Construction structures of early biplanes, the first helicopters are great to look in the finished model, but their assembly is very difficult. The great disadvantage of plastic parts is too large thickness of structural elements. When assembling structural elements made of plastic or resin modeler face with two difficulties: the first is the same cutting and cleaning parts, the second is their correct alignment and strong bonding.

3D printing allows to produce complete structure, with all the details included. Modeler need only to clean part of the supporting wax residues (wash the brush in a bath of white spirit thinner), painting with Surfacer. Some sanding of few traces of wax supports in printed parts would be required . After the initial preparation construction structure can be painted and immediately glued into the model. Then modeler can enjoy the precise and equal structure, much better than made from plastic or photo-etched parts.
The three sets are for -
72-3D01 Bell47 (OH-13) helicopter tail boom in for 1/72 Italeri
72-3D02 Fokker E.III wings and tailplane for 1/72 Eduard / Smer
72-3D03 RWD-8 wings and tailplane for 1/72 IBG
