Firm Lev Resin models

I’ll tell you about another company Lev Resin models, not to be confused with Live Resin.

In 2021, a father and son, most likely a father for his son, bought a 3D printer. They tried to make it for themselves – they liked it, they tried it for others – they liked it even more. Since then, they have already survived two moves – each time they expand and improve.

They have about fifty models in their assortment, two-thirds of which are in 1/43 scale, the rest are 1/35.

They most likely started with simple agricultural devices.

Then they started making tractor trailers. First to the freight ones,

then all sorts of different tanks

then car trailers. Or maybe in a different sequence.

And then they produced generally strange conversions on models from Balaton modell.

The experience gained allowed them to aim for a complete set, for which the Stalinets 65 tractor was chosen as a prototype.

Which did not remain alone for long and soon another version of the legendary Soviet (and not only) tractor will go on sale – Stalinets60.

Here’s how they advertise it: “2 types of engines with covers removed and put on (covers included), two types of tanks, whichever you prefer, tracks of your choice, prefabricated or composite, radiator that shines through in the light)”

Of course, I don’t really understand why, given the availability of plastic kits, they would create similar ones in 3D.

And not only me. But, on the other hand, we judge from the other side – from the buyer’s side, and they are the manufacturers. What is important to us is the price, the number of parts, the ease of assembly, while for them – the accuracy of the model, the openwork of the parts, etc. And this is the market – if you don’t want it, don’t take it. I briefly and culturally retold a number of conversations on their VK page.

Figures were also made for tractors.

In 1/43 scale the assortment is almost the same, incl. and matching, with minor extremes: from military equipment

to horse-drawn carriages.

At the beginning of the year, the company launched the French 270mm de Bange mortar.

The prototype is certainly interesting,

but the transition from the domestic agricultural theme to the French artillery of the WWI period?

And there are figures there too!

They didn’t stop there, but are going to move further in this direction. Their next step: the Aveling and Porter steam tractor, the kind that served in the Russian army.

Well, it seems similar.

I’ll have to buy it, because I have a clear weakness for such things, and I have one representative at my disposal, although I have one in 1/16 scale.

They promise to release this one for sale this month and continue this series in the future.

The company’s products are available in the Unomag online store
