Ohhhh Bloody Ahhhh, they look lovely Bo.

I reckon it's a most excellent idea to bring a large range of 3-D printed parts to the aftermarket.

Keep on developing!

I'd really like to try your wheel covers with my nasty little rubber tyres (reckon that would get a few modellers excited).
Make Otto your motto for lovely spoked wheels.

I am sure there is no need to mention that you will keep the smaller scales in mind too, Bo. :)

You're welcome, Bo, it is really exciting to participate on the development. Hopefully next weekend I will post photos.

I am really keen on seeing how big the target group is for these 1/144 parts.

Cheers

So far the world-wide market is exactly one crazy guy with very good eyes in the Czech Republic  :)

What happens when one crazy guy meets one quite possibly completely crazy guy? :)

I think the main reason why so few people build WWI in 1/144 is the lack of kits. Sram has a wide offer of types, but still those are resin kits, which for many potential customers is a no-go. Moreover, this company is not very visible.

The only other company producing this scale is Valom who offer dual combos, e. g. S.E.5a, Fokker D.VII or Albies. I have the Albie at home and ithere is a lot to rework on it. It is fair to say, however, that this small scale is on the edge of possibilities for moulded parts.

That is why I think that you could succeed with your Albie - 3D print offers much broader possibilities than resin or plastic. For sure I will do my best to introduce your production to as many people as possible.

And yes, the parts are tiny, but you do not need to posses superhero skills to handle it. :) When I see the details you, Bertl or e. g. Des create on your models, for sure 1/144 would be no issue.

Who would not love to have a complete collection of Jasta 5 Albies or a complete flight of S.E.5a's? This would hardly be feasible in 1/32. :)

So to make the long story short - I think there is a potential. I wish you a lot of success.

Cheers

Ondra
