Every finished piece is primed, then hand-painted in full color and stenciled to its original markings: body color, bands, fuze, and lettering. It arrives ready to display, not as a raw gray or single-color print.
Why paint matters: Most 3D-printed replicas are sold as raw PLA plastic. Unprotected PLA softens and can warp in heat (a sunny window, a hot car, or a garage in summer), and sunlight slowly makes it brittle and faded. Our primer and paint seal the surface and shield it from UV, so your piece keeps its shape, color and detail for years.
UNPAINTED · RAW PRINT
This option ships as a raw, unpainted print for you to finish yourself. Raw PLA can soften and warp in heat and turns brittle in sunlight, so give it a coat of primer and paint before you display it.

100% inert plastic display replica - no metal, no fill, nothing functional.
