Mostly true, tho I'm sure I my setup was more like $600 - $700 with my Elegoo Mars 12k, as I didn't go with the clean & wash station. I do very few body parts and almost exclusively design & print smaller parts. I get to make stuff that will never be available commercially, but I really like or remember from when I was a hot rodder. And yes, the mess can be a pain.

Nice project! Did you use 2 part bondo? I've seen that with the putty but never the 2 part.

I can only imagine how many times they've had to decline selling that.

Yes, perhaps a kind of transkit.

Yeah, that's rad! Based on that I think a 3D print is your only option. Maybe someone will print this for you. I printed the second pic for a future gasser build from the same seller.

To me it looks like good old fabrication with styrene would be the best/cheapest option. I say that because you're looking at a lot of flat surfaces rear of the cab. So you have 75% of the parts in the kit. I'd trim the top of the bed and build from there.

Sorry to hear that. I think we all have been there.

I viewed this vid when I was interested in scanning for printing (I've since decided its not for me). Its a couple of years old but may get you on the right path. He talks about using Meshmixer as a converter. I use it for a lot of my 3D printing tasks. Though it was originally designed for FDM printers, I still use it extensively because its way easier to use than Blender, though not as sophisticated.

Gotta make room on the bench first.

Nicely done! My intro to the Stuka was back when I was about 12 years old building models with my brother and his friend Ron. Ron bought a Stuka when we were only building cars. He did a good job with it as I recall.

Awesome job! I love it.

I originally got back into it because I needed to improve my attention to detail and patience for work (I was a business analyst), but now that I don't work I do it because I love cars and like building them in different ways.

Very nice!

Beautiful work!

Very nice build!!

I love it! Great looks, and the sound is music!!

Sweet!

I'll do Bill one better. Put the caps on the wheels to my Crosley fuel altered. ?

I didn't get through it all but its sad to see what Boeing has become. Their QC people don't seem to have a grasp of ...well, quality control. Management seems to be totally lacking in the production and engineering areas. I just hope their new CEO can fix the mess before its too late.

Beautiful build!

Loving the fab work!

Didn't know about your site! I've never been able to buy from you on eBay because of some crazy glitch that says you won't sell to me. I guess now I can.

Oh yeah!!

Shaping up nicely!

Very well done!
