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. The figure set is also available in five other scale.

The set comprises two WWII RAF figures.

 

 

The two figures are wearing different styles of RAF overalls, tunic, trousers, flying boots and life preservers. They are deep in conversation with one kneeling and the other standing over a map. The map and the stowage boxes it rests on are also included in the set..

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 can be 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 cleaning up the two figures and the accessories.

 

 

I removed the figures from their attachments one set 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 RAF Fighter Bomber crew set offer plenty of opportunity to add character to your dioramas or as a standalone vignette. They are amazingly realistic and highly detailed.

All Highly Recommended

Thanks to Modelu for the review samples
