I keep seeing these little round donuts on top of every flat surface of these models.
What's that all about?

Can it be that this guy doesn't read all the negative comments?

Looks a bit too long, like it's a stretched version. Here's what it ought to look like:

Even if he does, I'm sure our comments have about as much effect on him as a 75mm shell from an M4 Sherman had on the front hull of a Tiger.

Different turrets on the two models, but there is something wrong with the bonnet and front plate making it look too long.

@ Winston. I think those are the support points from the layering process (or whatever its actually called).

Or maybe Auto Union F. Schichau had a novel marketing approach of giving fresh doughnuts to customers who purchased new model sidkifzes?

Correct. Those are the remnants of the evac points for the material i.e. the place at which the material like a thin rod of plastic, is connected to the larger piece and when you cut it off the little doughnut is what you get.

btw even if reading the reviews, the point is the person gets an A for endurance, but again, I say stop trying to do gun barrels. Let the extruded brass guys supply these (there are a ba gillion sellers of brass barrels or at least there are a few people selling a ton of different barrels, which is also applaudable btw).

Anyway, the point is keep working at it. Eventually with some tweaking the accuracy of the 3D print will create seamless results but right now, everything looks like it has zimmermit coating.
