Kit Features
CNC Machined Cavity Molds:
Titan Model Kits cavity molds are designed with features to improve part shape, improve kit design, and make working with the resulting parts as easy as possible. CNC machining means that resulting parts are symmetrical and properly shaped. It means that fine panel lines and details are molded right in. Mold vent holes double as positioning holes for mounting engines and flap track fairings. No more measuring or guessing where components go. |
No Small Vacformed Parts:
Gone are the days of meticulously cutting out dozens of tiny, poorly formed vacformed parts to make rudimentary wheels and details. All of Titan Model Kits detail parts are 3D-printed in ultra-high resolution resin. The only vacformed parts you'll have to work with are the largest pieces--typically fuselage halves, wing halves, and horizontal stab halves. |
Thoughtfully Designed Kits:
Traditional vacform kits always have several inherent challenges. Titan kits are deliberately designed to address several of these challenges. Wings are designed to carry through the fuselage which means that dihedral is engineered right in the the part. No more adjusting to get the wing angles to match. This also provides for strong construction. Additionally all vacform molds are cavity molds meaning that plastic sheet is drawn into the mold rather than being draped over a form. Cavity molds allow for fine surface detailing and panel lines. Molds are also designed with a feature to ensure that wing and tail trailing edges are crisp and do not display any radius on the trailing edges. |
Sturdy Construction:
If you've encountered vacformed kits in the past you may have encountered thin plastic that was flimsy and difficult to build. Titan Model Kits uses thick .080" (2mm) and .090" (2.3mm) high-impact-polystyrene (HIPS) plastic that is easy to work with and creates a sturdy model. Fuselage halves are reinforced with styrene angle strips for additional rigidity. |
Ultra-detailed 3D Printed Parts:
Vaccum formed kits of the past often came with chunky cast metal or primitive short-run injection molded detail parts. None of that with Titan Model Kits. Titan Model Kits use only cutting edge, ultr-high-resolution UV-cured resin printing technology to create parts that often surpass the detail of injection molded kits and rival the detail of cast resin parts. |
