Normally, a manufacturer bringing out a brand new product would show the very best casting. Cleaned up, no voids in the Casting, no sprue, etc.
I applaud this company for the honesty in its presentation. |

A lot of the time, their models are rougher than I'd want to field. This jeep is an exception, I would totally field it. I will need to compare prices a bit, though, 15mm for 3.85gbp isn't significantly cheaper than what I remember for jeeps. My real question is how these compare size-wise to Battlefront jeeps, since I already have a lot of those. |

Honest advertising indeed. |

I'd like to know how it compares with an Airfix or Fujimi one since, IIRC, BPM are 1/76? |

Too jagged for my tastes but ymmv. The seats actually have "teeth," haha. |

It would be nice to know the scale of the vehicle shown. The larger the scale, the less noticeable the 3D printer "lines" should be. (should being a key word) |

Butlers only show 15mm models. If they want people to buy other scales they really should show pictures, but they don't seem to be interested in responding to comments posted on this site. |

unpacks and sets up an inexpensive 3D printer, and prints a test object.
