RAF Starter Download Plan
$5.00
/ month
when billed annually
✅ Welcome pack: 5 FREE models

This Starter Plan gives you access to a broad subset of the RAF catalog of 1:144 WWI aeroplanes and accessories for personal use only.

The Starter Plan allows up to five monthly model downloads. If you do not use them all, you can roll over up to two unused downloads into the next month. You also get a "Welcome Pack" of three of the most popular WWI fighters and two types of plane pegs.

The Starter Plan will include all of the most common and popular varieties of WWI planes in our catalog. For instance, this plan will include the standard late-model Sopwith Triplane. Variants such as the early-model Sopwith Triplane and a two-gun Sopwith Triplane will only be available in the higher-tier plans, e.g. Silver.

Reduced Aircraft Factory LLC has been making 3D models for WWI aircraft since our start with Shapeways in 2012. The models are all built with 1mm thick surfaces and "wires" (like struts). The designer makes no claim or warranty about the suitability for the 3D digital file to be printed on any particular 3D printer or to be correctly handled by software associated with 3D printers, including 3D digital file verification and slicing software. While the 3D model was designed for optimized for use on industrial printers with 1mm wall and wire thickness minimums, there will be portions of each model that do not meet these minimums, including rounded surface edges and small surface details like engine air intakes. All models have been verified against holes, flipped triangles, bad edges, bad closure, and the like.

GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE LICENSE As a subscriber to a Reduced Aircraft Factory Plan on thangs.com, you are authorized to:

  • Print and use the 3D prints of the 3D model for private use;
  • Share the images of your 3D prints of the 3D model on communication media such as social networks or websites, both painted and unpainted.
  • Modify the 3D model to adapt it for personal use only. Adaptations are derived works and retain the same license and privilege as the original.

What is disallowed:

  • No distribution, sale, donation, exchange, commercial use, sales, or public sharing of the 3D digital files or licensed 3D model, whether in original or modified form;
  • No commercial use or sales of 3D prints from the licensed 3D model, whether in original or modified form.

✅ Welcome pack: 5 FREE models

This RAF Silver Plan gives you access to the full RAF catalog of 1:144 WWI aeroplanes and accessories for personal use only.

The Silver Plan allows up to twelve monthly model downloads. If you do not use them all, you can roll over up to six unused downloads into the next month. You also get a "Welcome Pack" of three of the most popular WWI fighters and two types of plane pegs.

Reduced Aircraft Factory LLC has been making 3D models for WWI aircraft since our start with Shapeways in 2012. Eventually there should be over three hundred models to choose from. While the catalog is of limited size currently, new models are added frequently, limited only by the designer's time constraints. In the early months, we hope to see five to twenty new models added every week (but sometimes real-life interferes with such plans).

The models are all built with 1mm thick surfaces and "wires" (like struts). The designer makes no claim or warranty about the suitability for the 3D digital file to be printed on any particular 3D printer or to be correctly handled by software associated with 3D printers, including 3D digital file verification and slicing software.

This model is restricted by licensing terms. 

This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of an Airco (De Havilland) D.H.2. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

Geoffrey De Havilland's D.H.2 pusher was instrumental in turning the tide of the "Fokker Scourge" in 1916. It wasn't the Eindecker's good qualities that led to German dominance, it was the first use of aerial combat tactics and the lack of an effective counter. When the D.H.2 appeared on the scene in early 1916, the Entente finally had a fighter that could hold its own and -- along with planes like the Nieuport 11 -- could easily outfly a Fokker monoplane.

While trials were conducted in France starting in summer 1915 (and the first prototype was captured by the Germans), there were only a handful of D.H.2s flying in France in ones and twos before the end of 1915. It was not until 1916 that the sight of a D.H.2 was more commonplace. No.24 Squadron was the first to be fully equipped with the type, and it want to France on 10 Jan 1916, with its first enemy action occurring on 19 March.

301 D.H.2s were delivered to frontline units and another 100 were built as trainers. Replacement of the D.H.2 began in March 1917, at which time it was hard-pressed against German twin-gun Albatros fighters, and it was not until late June that the type was formally retired from front-line duty in France. In Palestine and Macedonia they soldiered on at least through September.
