Here is the next Miniature Dork Universe where I review 7 different manufacturers of 3D printed models:

Liked the intro. :D From what I saw the standouts for me were the PSC models. I ordered from them last summer with poor results, TMP link
The 250 halftrack variants that they offered at that time were not printable according to them but I guess they figured out the problem. I have an order from Butlers enroute right now but I will give PSC another try this week. Once again a very helpful video. Thanks!

Excellent review Ryan.

1st, leave those angle frames in the windows on your Fiat 508C (if that's what you're referencing about inside sprue things), they're original.

The length of the Fiat field car was approx. – 11.9 feet vs. 18.4 feet for a M3A1 White Scout Car.

See, so she is a little bit beefy, then. 6 feet is quite significant.

Thanks for the review.

I really wish we would get away from 10mm and 12mm and just settle on 1/144. Or 1/150. Just something definite.
