My printed Avro CF-105 Arrow

[Yso]

Hi to everyone. I am a new member to the forum, and for first i would like to show my arrow model makeing project. Hope you will like it. First i made a 3D model from schratch, then i began to make it real with 3D printing. It was a long way to get the first one here. Just began to build the second (hopefully better) one.

Saw it in Arrow group at FB. Fantastic job.

Thx.

Looks great. What scale is the kit, 1/72?

It is 1/48. If it succeeds i will try to make an 1/72 version too.

Great work! What printing method / printer did you use?

It is a resin print, made with Saturn2 and Saturn 3 Ultra.

@Yso any chances for short run production or co-op / selling source 3D model to some vendor like AMP or ModelSvit?

A short run production is planned in 1/48. Two version is planned already. This one with the opened bomb bay, and one as closed. Final tuning for the canopies and decals an manuals are on their way. Some more months, and i think it will be ready for order.
Want to make some parts available separately as an upgrade pack for the HobbyCraft models (wheels, landing gear, nose wheel well and cockpit, exhausts, maybe the inlets and bomb bay too).
I dont understand what you mean in co-op. Maybe coproduction with model makers? I was introduced by a guy to a model maker company in Ukraine, to sell them the model. They asked samples from the 3D model, which i sent them, but they didnt replied (yet?). They wanted to make it in 1/72 scale.
I am not in contact with other model manufacturers. I dont do this as a profession, just a hobby.
The model is mainly "optimized" for 3D printing. Injection kit makeing requires other methods. But i think i won't say no, if someone wants to do this as a new injection mold kit in the future.

Thx for the info!
I'm stunned by the details and fidelity of the prints. I do 3D modeling as a hobby as well and have printed drone related stuff that is rather large scale and doesn't require this level of detail (Nylon/SLS). Maybe the time has come to materialize something like the little Stealth Fighter I have designed with resin printing

Wonderful ! A 1/72 scale could only be better than the antiquated Hobbycrap... Hobbycraft model.

Can you produce these kits I want one

Hi. As i wrote earlier, a short run production is planned already. The plans for the parts are 99% ready to be printed. Some minor tuning is underway only. Also agreed with a decal manufacturer, to produce 100 sheets for this project. Only the canopy clear parts are just behind my schedule. Have to do new plans and master parts for pouring. Hopefully everything will be fine and ready in one or two months. You can contact me on FB: https://www.facebook.com/zsolt.arlath and we can discuss the details.

Where can I find the 3D models? Are you publishing them?
