I am sure if you contact Brian at Dynamic he could get it printed in the scale you need.

Ed,
Gonna show us your Tri-Motor? /would love to see it. Took a ride in the Tri-Motor while attending Oshkosh. Whereas the seats were not wicker, the flight was fantastic.

Let's see...a wicker seat woven by a skilled modeler out of actual wicker ( ) or a plastic seat made by a 3D printer ( )... Not a hard choice to make for me.

Gary,
I have as yet decided between the Stanavo or American Airlines Boeing 80/80A and the Ford Trimotor. In early versions both aircraft utilized wicker seating for weight savings. Simple as well as upholstered soft cushioning was used for creature comfort.
As you know our down sizing is still not complete, nor the new shop in KY until Sam's new residence is complete. I was originally collecting everything for the Stanavo 80A but last month began considering the Ford.
Both being corrugated, I was originally going to use architectural model roofing for my exterior. Wanted the model in a fairly large scale and continued looking until I found a single side rounded over Coroplast utilized in the construction trade. I'd almost given up on finding it when I found a large Ju 52 dressed in it.
The Stanavo is rarely modeled, as is the American Airlines 80A. The sole surviving one has about 75% of an original 80A pulled out of a garbage dump in Evergreen, WA. It is now sitting in Seattle's Museum Of Flight.

If you've ever done any 3D modeling or printing you learn that it's another set of skills that only looks easy if you know what you're doing.
