| Black Cat Models from France continues to release new 3D printed accessories. Among the latest releases is a set of 1/350 figures, WWII US Sailors Set No3 (x72), set AC350048a. | |||||||||

| The packaging is Black Cat's typical
plastic clamshell container. The 3D printed runner containing
the figures is secured to the bottom of the packaging with thick double
sided tape, which prevents the runner from moving during shipping.
I've found that in recent shipments it's been easier to remove from the
tape, to review the product more closely.
Inside you'll find seventy-two (72) 3D printed figures in various poses. All the figures are wearing the soft US "dixie cup" hat. All are in a standing position, the others in various "at ease" poses. As mentioned in my review of set No2, the features on the figures are non-descript and soft. When assigned to your most recent 1/350 scale ship, these should look fine once painted. I don't think the details are as sharp as the figures from NorthStar models, but are quite brittle and difficult to remove from the printing wafer. |

| CONCLUSIONS | |||||||||
| As the other set of sailors, these 3D printed
figures aren't the most detailed item I've reviewed from Black Cat, with
details that are, in my opinion, a bit soft and not sharply defined.
However, once painted and on serving aboard your latest masterpiece,
I'm thinking they will look fine.
This is Black Cat Models set AC350048a, WWII US Sailors Set No3 (x72). The set retails for about $13.75 USD, and are available directly from Black Cat Models or from some of our fine sponsors. Recommended. |
