Yes he did say printed but there was also a caveat which was Motion would stock printed kits(not individual parts) if the interest in this sort of idea was popular. The term "popular" has a wide interpretation.
Here's a cut-n-paste from that post #8. I took the liberty of underlining relevant aspects of the posting.
To continue that trend of encouraging Personalization and Customization, we have prepared 3D-Print-Ready files that fit perfectly into the B-24. For anyone with a 3D Printer, we'll be making these files available for download in about two weeks, and they'll be FREE while the first pre-order lasts. These files, just to start, comprise different detail Kits, allowing a modeler to further detail his/her B-24 with interior details. For those of you without access to a 3D printer, there are online companies that offer 3D printing service, and better yet, if the interest in this sort of idea is popular, we are prepared to stock printed Kits in our inventory that will just require paint and some glue to finish.
Ok, I guess I misinterpreted. I did think they were going to offer them for sale for the B-24 but it looks like most of the gang is printing or getting them printed themselves.
Now, would anyone feel like giving me a price for printing the whole bunch? PM me if you'd like. Thanks!

Ahh ha! Post #496 of the RCGroups Liberator thread:
Alpha posted-
"We'll be making the files available for download in a couple weeks, for free, on our website. We'll announce here when we do. We'll also be stocking inventory, same print quality as seen here in my photos, in late Jan/Feb timeframe, depending on our congested overseas shipping schedule."
I thought I saw something along those lines at some point in time so I'm staying hopefull we'll hear something soon!

The pre-printed sets are on order, friends. We're not doing a pre-order on them; they'll be uploaded to the website when their container arrives (multiple inbound so I can't say definitively when it will arrive exactly). **EDIT** I spoke with Freewing and the B-24 pre-printed sets shipped earlier this month.
The free printable files were posted on this thread in December.Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

You can even supply pictures of yourself and have YOUR face on the pilot.
I typically just look for an appropriate PEZ head or a figure in the toy aisle. I found a pair of jet pilot figures that were PERFECT for sticking in a 60 inch span "TameCat" Look like they belong in a F-14 with the proper helmets, masks and flight suits at the correct size.
Another time I found a kid's drink bottle with a Sylvester Cat head for the cap. I modified him to use as a passenger in a 3D aerobatic model while using the appropriate scale Williams Brothers pilot for the airplane. Sylvester was having a panic attack. :saywha
You can go for a comic pilot or a scale one. I usually go for a comic oneFF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

Must be a good day to announce the plane ready for maiden, pending a big weather improvement. Got mine ready to go. CG is just forward a little but just the way I like maiden flights to be. No extra weight added. Can be shifted to tail-heavy with moving the batteries back. Curious if others are coming in around the same?
Turrets are set up on a sequencer.
