3D Dodge

Filament Fighters 3D printed 1 1/2 ton Dodge truck.
This model varies from the resin cast Heiser version in several ways.
The detail is less crisp, there are some striations, and there are some inaccurate parts.
The diameter of the machine gun barrel is very thick, the wheels don't seem right to me, and the seats are not well detailed.
This version has no winch but the real ones varied.  I never saw one with a .50 caliber machine gun mounted in the bed, but I am sure it would have been possible to do that, even if it may have required a slight field modification.

  2. Hello, the barrel looks like a water cooled machine gun. Even in use in the early Korea war.

    1. I think it is a limitation of the 3D printing process but yes it looks like the water cooled .50 caliber MG.
