FWIW - I have found that I can convert 3D designs from flight simulator platforms and after a couple of conversions open them in my 3D design software. They are usually hollow and I either need to do lots of editing of vertices in Blender and sometimes I need to redesign things entirely (but still having a pattern to work from can make this much easier).
