Nice model, having issues getting any detail out of it at 1:72 scale... but many variables to be taken into consideration. Likely prints great at 1:32.
This is the third Max Grueter pilot figure that I have purchased and was very happy with the Luftwaffe Bf109 pilot and Spitfire pilot, printing those for use in RC Models. I'm a little disappointed in this one, prior to printing, by the flat back to the torso, which will not sit well with a scratch built pilot's seat. I also much preferred the ball and socket for the alternative pilot heads, which gave excellent possibilities for positioning the head. In my Spitfire a servo mounted in the body allowed the head to rotate in unison with the rudder.
I've now printed the bust and head at 1/11th scale and definitely dislike the separation of the two components on that inclined plane - it creates a visible edge that will need to be made good. The missing back of the figure, represented as a flat plane is also not a good feature at all, in my opinion.
Is there any chance of an update to address these issues?
Okay. Is now attached in the ZIP file.
Hello
Good idea - I have added a bust part.
All parts are now easier to edit in one single ZIP document.
You only need to download it. All parts are now more editable.
All other dimensions have to be adjusted by yourself.
Greetings,
Max Grueter

Right, maybe for someone with your talent. I just need the head and the shoulders. Now I am lost trying to figure out how to print only the parts I need... Should have bought the Spitfire Pilot.
