Freeman Marine 37 Offshore Fishing boat model w/ Mercury O/B's in 1/24 Scale. Model is roughly 20.5 inches assembled. Hull is shipped in 4 pieces and body work is required for assembly.
This Model comes in 51 pieces total, Most pieces are keyed or slotted for precise fit. This Hull is shipped in 4 pieces and will require some body work to achieve the appearance of the photos. This model has slots for the windshield and side windows as well as one of the livewells. You will receive some semi rigid clear plastic to cut that works well.
- This Model is printed in high quality ABS-like resin. This highly detailed resin model may have slight imperfections from the printing process. Resin printing requires supports to hold the model in place while printing. These supports leave scars on the face of the model that can be scraped or sanded off easily.
(Resin sands very well)
I do my absolute best to limit these supports to the bottom of the model but that is not always possible. While
inspecting the prints I remove the supports and do a fair amount of cleanup but I leave the bulk of the body work to you, the experts. Listed photos are of actual prints and stand as an example of what you can expect.
- This Kit requires mating the hull pieces together. This hull is shipped in 4 sections. The Hull connection is Keyed for the best fit possible but the supports required for printing make these surfaces less than flat in some cases. It will require some sculping and floating to achieve a hidden seam.
*****Freeman 37vh Model kit is 51 pieces in total. 4 piece hull, 4 Mercury outboards, 4 rigging hose, Console w/ 2 cushions, Window Frame, Steering Wheel, Captains Seat w/ 2 cushions, Dash Screens, Light bar, Radar array w/ base, 2 antenna, 4 sets of rodholders, 2 Outrigger bases. 10 pieces of bow decking, 8 coaming pads, and a Stand Printed in PLA
This is a very high end resin print and I treat them as such. Models with this level of detail require even more supports and processing than normal due to the high level of intricacy. The large parts are hollowed and will have vent holes for resin drainage and internal curing. Due to required print orientation the hull pieces will not have a perfectly flat mating surface. Some floating will be necessary to achieve the appearance of the photos.
- This is not perfect recreation. I create models from photos, vector images, and basic dimensions when available. Many things are as I see them in photos and even more things are altered to allow for 3D printing. Some small details are exaggerated and some can not be recreated in this scale.
- This model is printed in pieces due to its size.
- Vehicle Models are supplied unpainted and It will be printed to order, allow 10 days for production.
Model does not require paint and will hold up fine unfinished in a climate controlled dry area. Direct exposure to UV will discolor model and exposure to excessive heat will deform model.
Any paint suited for plastic will work well with ABS-Like resin using standard painting process. ABS-Like resin is not suited for use in water without some type of sealer.
