RAF Ground Crew

Modelu 1/48 scale

Reviewed by Brett Green

Modelu is a British company that produces 3d printed figures and associated services including full-body custom scans.

Their focus appears to be railway and lineside figures but they also offer military, civilians, workers, pets, wildlife, livestock figures sets and more.

This review covers a 1/48 scale set from Modelu’s RAF Through the Ages category. The figure set is also available in five other scale.

The set comprises three WWII RAF ground crew figures.

One of the figures is wearing RAF tunic, trousers, flying boots and side cap. He seems to be ticking off deliveries on a clipboard. The other two ground crew figures look quite jolly. They are each carrying a wooden box. They are wearing overalls and high boots over collar and tie. They are both bare-headed.

This is another lovely self-contained scene from Modelu.

The figures are perfectly 3d printed in grey resin with fine attachment strips / points. No striations or other imperfections can be found on my samples.

I thought it was important to see what these figures would look like when they had been freed from their 3d printing cages so I set about cleaning up the two figures and the accessories.

I removed the figures from their attachments one set at a time using a new hobby blade and a quality set of sprue cutters. This was a fast and easy job. I cut the points close to the bodies of the figures using the sprue cutters and they were quickly freed with almost no residue.

The figures can really be appreciated once removed from their printing strips.

Also note that Modelu offers these figures in a choice of seven scales from 1/24 to 1/144 including all the usual model aircraft, military and figure scales.

This RAF ground crew set offers plenty of opportunity to add character to your dioramas or as a standalone vignette. They are amazingly realistic and highly detailed.

Highly Recommended

Thanks to Modelu for the review samples
