I've just posted the Eurocopter NH90 for sale through Shapeways, a 3D printing service. Also, another modeller has posted an excellent model of the Martin B-10 at his store, Tiny Thingamajigs.

The product of a joint venture between NHIndustries and Eurocopter, the NH90 is a battlefield transport and anti-ship/anti-submarine helicopter. It has been ordered by 16 countries including Australia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, Oman, and Spain. It was one of the first helicopters to use a Fly-by-Wire control system.

This model is available in 4- and 8- packs in 1:600 scale in either White, Strong, and Flexible (WSF) or high resolution Frosted Ultra Detail, and in 1:1200 scale in Frosted Ultra Detail.

4-pack 1:600 WSF shpws.me/3qgs $2.75
8-pack 1:600 WSF shpws.me/3qgv $4.41
4-pack 1:600 FUD shpws.me/3qgw $8.33
8-pack 1:600 FUD shpws.me/3qgu $10.17
4-pack 1:1200 FUD shpws.me/3qgy $5.92


I've just released the Martin B-10 in 1/600, deciding to go for the cheaper White/Strong/Flexible (WSF) material. Because of this, the wing and tail assembly (horizontal and vertical stabilizers) are (waay?) thick at 0.7mm: WSF's minimum allowable thickness for such structures.

Joy of Joys!
NH 90s for my modern naval, and B 10s for my Dutch East Indies WWII.
Christmas just came early!
Cheers,

may i ask you what program you use to design your 3d models

I use a a free program called Blender ( blender.org ).

Blender is a bit tricky to learn, but there are a lot of very good tutorials out there to help you get started. I highly recommend it. Also, if you are interested, I have open sourced some of the blender source files for some of my naval models, available at: we-be-smart.org/~afrodri
