SS Models know they have a problem with their 3D printed hulls warping. That's why they started offering version 1.5 kits with cast resin hulls that come with their 3D printed kits. Unfortunately, I agree that those resin cast hulls are generally poor. Their USS Nevada cast resin hull I received was terrible. To their credit they offered a 3D printed hull as a replacement. What I found strange was that previous to having 3D printed products they produced everything in cast resin. The few kits I purchased had very nice hulls. So I asked them if they had changed their resin caster and did not receive a clear answer
Greetings all.
A while back I received SSMODELS HMS London and the USS Arizona. The 3D printing on these models is outstanding, HOWEVER, the hulls were resin cast and while not bad, were NOT great. Does anyone happen to know who's casting molds they use?? For the London I plan to use a Trumpeter or Aoshima County Class cruiser hull. For the Arizona I'm going to use Dragons out of production Arizona hull. Both while not perfect should do the trick.
