Hey Peter,
Dagor file’s price just went down to $34.
M60 mgs can be switched out to M240 or M249 in CAD before printing so that’s not a big deal.
I think the future is near when some manufacturers will simply sell CAD files of model kits and modelers will be able to print them with their 3D printer to put together at home. I can see that happening in a decade.
I suspect that’s quite prophetic, and will be the way ahead; in a way, it is already happening. Whilst revolutionary, I’m sure we’ll get used to it, but I have no doubt we’ll also complain!

Although its pretty much a dead duck, and may never see service (ordered 590 vehicles in 2014- £3.6 Billion spent so far and only 30 or so issued so far ) I would still like to see an Ajax Recce vehicle.
Nick22,
I think you said the same thing in 2021. I looked into possibly CADding it and 3D printing later, but it appears too complex for my skills at the moment, and it has been impossible to obtain the dimensions so far.
It’s easy for Hobby Boss and Trumpeter to do all these tank transporters - HET, Elefant, Commander (and I’m sure the Antar will come at some point) - when they have good kits from Accurate Armour to use as reference… Not copying them since you can’t mold the same way in plastic as in resin, but a perfect reference source.
I have the AA resin kit of the Commander so I’ll see how the HB kit compares.
