About product

Crew of an MJ-1 munitions loader in 1:72 scale

The set contains figures of the airfield personnel who work with the MJ-1 munitions loader, made by three-dimensional printing. It is not a vehicle model. These are figures that go next to the equipment on an airfield diorama to give the scene a sense of scale and of action: without people even a well-built airfield looks like a display stand. Three-dimensional printing on figures in such a small scale means noticeably finer rendering of the folds of clothing and equipment than an injection mold can manage.

The real subject

The MJ-1 is a low munitions loader with which bombs and rockets have been lifted under the wings and fuselages of aircraft on American airfields since the 1950s. A crew of two or three works with it: one drives and operates the lifting arm while the others guide and steady the load. It is exactly this scene that the set captures.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water, because residue from the printing stays on the surface.
  • Cut the supports off with a sharp knife or a fine saw and sand the surface down.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue, because printed resin does not react to cement for plastic.
  • Apply a primer before painting, otherwise the finish comes off during handling.
  • Leave the faces and the hands until last, because they are what shows the quality of a painted figure.

Who it is for

The set is for builders of airfield dioramas and for modelers who add a scene to a finished aircraft. Painting figures in this scale calls for practice and a fine brush.

It is not a model of a vehicle or of an aircraft. Paints, glue and equipment are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not. This is a set of figures. The munitions loader itself is a separate item with a different manufacturer's part number.

With cyanoacrylate glue. Printed resin does not react to cement for plastic, because it does not dissolve.

They are thin projections that hold the part on the build plate during printing. Cut them off with a knife or a saw and sand the surface down; they have nothing to do with casting.
