SHADO SkyDiver



These are the 3D files I used to to print the masters for a 1/48 scale resin model kit of the fabulous SkyDiver submarine-fighter plane combo from the 1969-70 Gerry Anderson TV show "UFO". This model is studio scale, the same size as one of the filming minatures used on the show. Though it's sized like the smaller studio model, it has many of the details of the larger version, which looks better, in my opinion. I've been offering the Sky 1 jet since 2018, though I could never quite get around to finishing the Diver masters to the point where the parts could be molded to produce a resin kit.

These files were originally made in the 2017-2018 time period and the Sky 1 files were cleaned up and slightly updated in February 2025. Those who previously purchased my resin kit may notice some changes. For example,the nose section has been broken out into a separate part to accomodate a wider variety of resin printers. Also, grillwork has been added to the lower inlet. A few years back, I changed the muzzles of the guns, making the ends of the flash hiders a bit thinner, and some of the decals were altered to be more accurate. Those changes are carried over to this release. Lastly, a separate canopy section with integrated glass has been included for those who don't wish to fiddle with the individual panes.

The Sky 1 set consists of 25 STL files and a decal sheet. For printing, the parts are designed to fit in a build volume of 218mm x 122mm x 200mm. Locating pins and tabs are included on many parts to aid in assembly.


The Sky 1 files and decals are available now...the Diver files are currently being freshened up with a release expected in early 2025.
