Yes it does. The printing it self took about 100 hours for the canopy and 50 for the cowl but in hands on time its more like 15 minutes. It takes some time to do the filler/sanding/painting of the parts but its alot less work this way instead of doing a plug from balsa or other material.

The mold for the cowl is now ready. Planing of making the first cowl soon. The mold stil needs some cleaning up from the blue mold clay.
