Replacement louvers for your WNW & Roden 1/32 Albatrossen D scouts!
Something I've had brewing for a while, ever since Shapeways made my louver punch set unaffordable. Wasn't sure if my trusty 'lil printer could pull these off, but the results exceeded my expectations.
Featuring very thin (.15mm) walls, these little beauties really look the part. They are printed on a squared-up raft so you can clamp it in a small vice and then razor saw each louver off of its sub-block. For best results use a superfine-toothed photoetched saw as shown to remove them from the block.
There are 3 each of 4.5mm and 5mm lengths, enough to do one Albatros along with offerings for the carpet monster. Removing the existing kit detail, either by sanding or carving. (I suggest carving them off with a very sharp precision chisel). For maximum realism, carve or mill a narrow trench where the kit louver was, to represent the hole through the fuselage.
