3D printing for models
04/11/2019
Using an ABS (High Strength Plastic) printer to back date the Airfix Matador Truck.
I have a high detail FORM 2 and regular ABS printer that can make parts for my 1/72-1/76 models.
The parts printed were:
1. the wheels (corrected size and tire pattern
2. the cab roof
3. seats
4. small side mounted headlights
