Printables admin began removing Benchy mods recently. After losing one of my best to a ban hammer I was forced to remove all my models from public access. Most I converted to use my own boat ‘Binky’ that uses a similar scale and aesthetic without using a benchy. Binky forms the core of nearly all my model redesigns that had once used a benchy at the core. A select few looked like they could be modified to use a separate benchy by converting the extras to add ons (this one and A10chy are likely the only two I will do this with).
There is NO BENCHY supplied with this set. Only the parts required to make an SPG variant with your own Benchy are in this download.
Files in this set are :-
The Hull and tracks.
A gun mount that fits the window of a benchy,
The gun (that obviously fits the mount).
Two projectile print files, one (the larger one to make sure the rounds show in the receptacle behind the cabin).
The smaller projectiles file needs printing twice for having on the aft deck.
Having to use a stock benchy changes the look from my original SPG benchy as the stock cabin is considerably taller than I used previously. But this kit build version allows for an SPG benchy without triggering any copyright issues with that damned boat and to some may even be preferable.
If you prefer the previous version, have a look at the Binkys on my downloads page as they are more in keeping with what I originally created (albeit with Binky at the core and not a benchy).
I've left the photos and images of the original version/s in place to show the differences, while also letting anyone looking for the original know that it was here but had to be removed. The first 5 images relate to this new kit build SPG, while the rest are for the older deleted version.
