Continuing the discussion from OH-58 Kiowa 3D Printed Detail Sets | AeroScale:
Flying Frog is developing some very nice-looking 3D prints for the 1:35 scale Academy/MRC, Revell Bell OH-58 Kiowa including upper airframe, tail boom, side doors, and weapons mounts..

Excellent! Now I can finally build the “improved” Kiowa that I saw often here.
It has just been announced that Flying Leatherneck Scale Creations will be producing and marketing these (and other Flying Frog products) in the US.
From Dave Roof, owner of Flying Leathernecks:
“I received all of the OH-58 files a few minutes ago, and will be getting everything into production this week. Once they’re all printed, and packaging/product numbers are sorted out, I’ll get them on the website.”
Weapons look very nice. I like the ammo flex chute. I wonder how they are able to print such little details like cable wire.
Printing small details like the cable is not an issue. My home printer (Elegoo Mars 5 Ultra) does that kind of details. The issue I have is removing them from the supports without destroying fine details that small.
