It’s a Toyota Hypercar according to their website.

I have recently bought a “more interesting” BMW 507 from TA71 based on Resin 3d and yes it costs a little more than the Sintered print, but is a great deal easier to paint then the sintered version. It is worth the extra cost to get a better appearance.

Porsche 919 ?

The search facility on their website is utterly useless so googling LMP, Hypercar, TA71, and a mix of those...

...is still inconclusive

Electric Dreams list it as a Toyota TS 040 LMP

Slot Car Passion list it as a Porsche 919

Porsche 919 at the top
Toyota TS040 at the bottom

...the 919 looks closer, the front nose is the most obvious difference

Quote:it'll be spot on for scale knowing them

A mate bought some area 71 body kits and he knows Ferraris as well as being an ex owner of at least two1/1 cars.
We discussed the scale of a particular model and when I had the opportunity I questioned the scale accuracy with Mr Area 71.
His replied confirmed that the bodies were accurate 1/32 but with some accurate 1/32 poetic license adjustments in some aspects....so take it for what it is.

Yes, some are brittle, depending on the mix of resin, but a Filament 3D print cannot match the resolution and surface quality of resin. Resin is durable if mixed properly, but, not as durable as what a filament printer can provide. That's the trade off.

Here's a print of some louvres I had commissioned by a well known modeler in Germany. This is impossible to achieve with a filament printer, period.

Here's another print of a rear engine cover to turn a GT2RS into a GT2 Touring, printed by the same guy.

I have seen the differences between filament and resin, I've seen side by side comparisons of filament prints on the same object and as explained that the settings have not been set properly just like the settings for the filament layering are wrong, there is too much step, lack of better word.
