1:48 Revi 16 for Me 262 clear 3D print (2 pcs)

Revi 16 reflector sight for the Me 262 1:48 (3DF, clear 3D printing)

This set contains a clear (transparent) 3D-printed Revi 16 reflector sight in 1:48 scale from 3DF, intended as a detail accessory for a model of the Messerschmitt Me 262 jet fighter. It is not an aircraft model, but a replacement part for the cockpit. The package contains two pieces. Its key advantage is the transparent rendering of the sight glass, the collimator glass onto which the light reticle was projected in reflector sights. It is exactly that faithful clear glass that makes this part a valuable replacement for simplified plastic.

What the accessory is for

A reflector sight is a prominent feature of a fighter cockpit. Clear 3D printing makes it possible to produce a thin transparent glass that a plastic part usually cannot imitate faithfully. The accessory raises the realism of an open or clearly visible Me 262 cockpit.

Procedure and tips for working with 3D printing

• Wash the parts carefully and clear off any print residue
• Cut the fine print supports away with a sharp knife as close to the part as possible and level the surfaces
• Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) applied in a small amount, so that the clear glass is not fogged
• Protect the transparent glass against scratching, or polish it if needed
• Paint the frame of the sight and leave the glass clear; protect your airways when sanding

Who the accessory is for

For modelers building the Me 262 in 1:48 scale who want a faithful transparent sight instead of a plastic part. Suitable for more experienced builders used to tiny 3D-printed parts.

This is an accessory, not a complete model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
