I have a Epson L200 printer, all my models are printed in photographic model. For me is very good have you models in 1/48 or 1/72 scale. The problem in reduction is is of course the difficulty of dealing with parts that turn into tiny items , for which the design of the model was designed to have a level of detail for a specific scale. Ken West models for example, do not see how being able to play all the details in 1/100 for example. The modeler must decide this case in deciding what will play in the model , or the challenge of trying to reproduce all the details . I'll give you an example of your model that is in my stack assembly and is perfect for a reduction to 1/ 100, the first Spitfires based in Marek kit on scale 1 /50, and this is basically due to the fact that the model does not have intricate details . Still talking about printing , in my case I have a good printer and know well the settings of it , being bulk ink , always use original ink . Very small details in texture as stencils are lost , do not look sharp , but it at least for me and the philosophy of my collection is hardly a problem , since the logic of mass reproduction is not to have a few models with a large number details .
