Oosterbeek House F
A 28mm scale 3D printed model kit representing a house of a type found in Oosterbeek, Arnhem, and is based on a building in Annastraat that was used as a HQ by British Airborne troops during Operation Market Garden.
The kit can be purchased with, or without, printed 'glass' in the windows. Choosing the "Solid Windows" option will require you to paint the glazing, "Open Windows" will have no glazing allowing you to see into the building.
The kit is made up of four walls, six roof sections, a sun room with balcony above and enough shuitters for all of the large windows on the building.

Parts may need some clean up, in particular it may be necessary to file, or sand, the bottom edges where the walls connect. Super glue is recommended for construction, and a bead of PVA glue may be useful to strengthen joints. It is also recommended that the building is mounted on a base of MDF, Foamex, or similar to increase rigidity.
No internal floors are included in the kit to minimize the cost of production, but there are pillars in each corner upon which a floor cut from MDF or similar can be placed if required.
The resin from which these kits are printed is sensitive to UV light and, therefore, the kits should not be left in direct sunlight without having first been given a coat of primer/paint.
