The following are my opinions on this subject, and are what I expect from the members of this group. Feel free to disagree with me, but DON"T DO IT HERE.
Ethically, if you've paid for something you should have the right to do with it what you want, up to and including reselling a physical object such as a commercial model kit, or the assembled result of that kit. Things get greyer with purchased digital models, as while you may have the ability the print and assemble many copies, you really do not have an ethical right to sell more than one without permission from the kit's publisher. With free models, you have no right ethically to sell anything, whether digital copies, printed copies, or assembled models, but I see no issue with giving copies away without compensation. One should at least attempt to obtain permission from the model's designer before republishing (i.e. posting the files elsewhere), however.
