Modelu is a British company that produces 3d printed figures and associated services including full-body custom scans.

Their focus appears to be railway and lineside figures but they also offer military, civilians, workers, pets, wildlife, livestock figures sets and more.

This review covers a 1/48 scale set from Modelu’s RAF Through the Ages category - WWII RAF Photographer Scene. The figure set is aso available in five other scales.

The set comprises three WWII RAF figures 3d printed in two resin parts.

 

 

The pair of pilot figures are printed as one piece. They are wearing RAF tunic, trousers, flying boots and one has his life preserver on. One of the figures is wearing a sheepskin jacket.

The photographer is wearing a 1940s-style double breasted suit. He has a camera bag over one shoulder and he is peering down into his twin lens camera's top viewfinder.

This is a lovely self-contained scene.

 

 

The figures are perfectly 3d printed in grey resin with fine attachment strips / points. No striations or other imperfections were found on my samples.

I thought it was important to see what these figures would look like when they had been freed from their 3d printing cages so I set about roughly cleaning up the three figures.

 

 

I removed the figures from their attachments one piece at a time using a new hobby blade and a quality set of sprue cutters. This was a fast and easy job. I cut the points close to the bodies of the figures using the sprue cutters and they were quickly freed with almost no residue.

 

 

The figures can really be appreciated once removed from their printing strips.

Also note that Modelu offers these figures in a choice of seven scales from 1/24 to 1/144 including all the usual model aircraft, military and figure scales.

 

 

These really need to be seen to be believed.

This WWII RAF Photographer Scene will offer plenty of character to your dioramas or as a standalone vignette. The figures are amazingly realistic and highly detailed.

Highly Recommended

Thanks to Modelu for the review samples
