FC Model Trend from Spain has a large selection of 3-D printed stuff. Has anybody of you guys made some experiences (good or bad)with this stuff? I think about buying the BFD for .50 cal. machine gun.
Thanks

Recently ordered a .50 gun and mount for my Tamiya Sheridan as well as the stowage turret set. Delivered to me relatively fast in perfect condition. (He told me he changed his packaging because of prior damages). I asked questions and he answered quickly and was very helpful, too.

Hope this helps,
Felix

Hi Hans-Hermann,

I just used FC‘s turret basket for the M551 Sheridan and it looks good and worked out well. Their T-55/T-62 headlight assembly looks promising, too. I ordered all these on Modellbau-König - if you can find what you want there, shipping would be fast.

Hi Jerry,

I noticed that MBK had the BFD in stock, but it`s currently sold out. Have to check it later. @all Thanks for the input in FCM.

The .50 cal Blank adapter from FC was a great piece, quick turnaround on the order when I picked it up last year.
