Hi
A great thanks for your so quick a reply on my questions. O0 :embarrassed: :-))
Your information will be useful and informative to my next experimental project to start in this mid-summer perhaps.

Oh, sorry to say, again there was one thing important left to ask you relating to the adhesive...what kind of material is the hull?
polystyrene, ABS or the other..?

I just used PLA+ for this, as it's mainly a test run of how to make a model with 3D printing. My next printed models will likely be printed in ASA as that is supposed to offer better UV resistance.

Thanks a lot for all your information on 3D model printing experience.
I could have much knowledge of 3D printing model. :-)) %%

The files are often on sale, as they are at the moment $35 1/72nd or 1/48th scale available.
