Your own 'Spitfire ML407' for just £16,000 – £25,000

Thanks Moggy, mature response as usual

You are welcome. I am sure you have read post #17?

Airbus intend to use additive manufacturing for its wings.

Interesting stuff.

So anything up to 8 cubic metres can be replicated. Wow !

I should have said, what is the largest “single component” which can be printed ?

I believe the Aston Martin shot to bits in Skyfall was.

Really?? I thought a fibreglass mock-up myself.

The Chinese are 3D printing whole towns now…

3D printer not that outrageous, The Vintage Aviator makes use of them for some activities (not the actual end component, obviously!).

What is the largest item that can be 3D printed ?

Thank you Bob, but off topic posts about off topic posting are still off topic (if you see what I mean) and only compound the felony. 😀

Back on topic please and save the Burma humour for the post report publication discussion in the relevant thread

It seems like such a fertile source of humour.

To you maybe – but bear in mind this sticky notice, in case you haven’t seen it, about the elephant in the forum and possible sanctions…

I do plastic bits for plastic Spits 🙂

Fair enough, but I’m sure to many others it’s bloody boring now. Let’s talk about reality, not the what-ifs, eh?v

I can get cars printed now!

The Google translation uses the word ‘molded’ which is probably “English (US)” [sic] for moulded, so I would assume it is some kind of plastic.

Unless someone has a ginormous 3D printer ? 🙂

Edit for clarity: I was late to the Burma party, and I only joined this forum late last year. I read about buried Spitfires as a kid. I was surprised that this story was still on the go and that people had such strongly opposing views on the matter. ‘Tis all!

Rather than ‘moldering’, like the ones in Myanmar.

Can we stop pissing and moaning about bloody Burma in a Spitfire-related thread??

Thanks guys.
