FC Model Trend presents theirfirst 3d printed/plastic kit. The UNL-35, which was the best armoured vehicle from the Spanish Civil War built at the Union naval de Levante facilities in Valencia from 1936 to 1939.
The UNL-35 was built through 8 different batches using different vehicles available, each variant is recognisable through some evident and other subtle differences.

This model represents a UNL-35 from the fourth series, which used a Soviet ZIS-5 truck as a base.

The kit is completely 3D printed with stereolythographic process with a special resin, except for the wheels that are provided in plastic by Miniart.

The UNL-35 kit is already available at www.fcmodeltrend.com and during December each kit will include an FCModeltips 1 book as a gift.

Very interesting subject, and great initiative. Just 100 Euro for such a simple model might be an issue

3D-printing gets expensive ....

It's not just the printing, but the research and time to design and make the parts. The December special is for any order over 75 euro and you can pick FC Tips 1 or 2.

The price is a reflection of the limited nature of this product. I'm sure that FC has taken into consideration that only a select few modellers will be interested in this and doing it with 3D printing was probably the easier alternative. Also, they had to purchase the ZIS-5 wheel sets from Miniart, which invariably drove the cost up (but still cheaper then printing wheels).
