V-280 Valor “Advanced Vehicle Concept Demonstrator” Aircraft
This is a desk model of the Bell Flight V-280 Valor AVCD Aircraft. The V-280 is competing for the Future Long Range Assault Aircraft or FLRAA program.
This kit is 3D printed on my Elegoo Saturn SLA printer and is approximately 1/48 Scale. The print consists of 11 parts. The fit is pretty good with minimal filling and sanding.
The model is finished in Tamiya Olive Drab, with black proprotors/leading edges. The windscreens are painted Model Master Intermediate Blue.
This model sits at my desk at Bell Flight. It's stopped a few folks who inquire about it.
Very interesting. Also very weird.
Great result Steve!
Well done!
Very nice result, Steve @stevev22fe
Great 3D printing as well.
Give a modeler a 3D printer and no telling what will show up! Nice!
