I ordered and received some 3d printed fittings for my 1/24 Schnellboot project and as usual was very happy with the products, especially the detailing.
Just purchased some scale twin 50 cal machine guns to replace what came with my Bancroft PT 109, also purchase a 37mm antitank gun and a 20mm cannon to complete a more scale appearance.
While building a 1/700 scale prototype U.S. cruiser, I needed to find a couple of USN 8-inch Mk 71 guns in resin or plastic. I found some in China, which I did not want to support, plus the quality looked suspect. I found Distefano3dprint online. They had what I wanted in 1/350 scale. I contacted them and asked if they would be willing to print in 1/700 scale. They said yes! Within a couple of weeks I got my 1/700 scale guns for less than the Chinese version. The quality is great. I highly recommend Distefano3dprint for your modeling needs!
