F-14 Tomcat for microarmor

thingiverse

Tomcat ( ala Top Gun, although when we got an advanced showing on the Kitty Hawk, the flight deck crews laughed a good bit.... they filmed some of the flight ops on my ship). A surprisingly big plane; it was the biggest plane on board until our world cruise when we had an EA-3 Whale ( Skywarrior ) that had a sign on the side "on loan from the Smithsonoian". again, no load out or missiles. I understand that before it was retired in 2006, it did some precision bombing as a "BombCat". Iran still uses it though. model in full dimensions in blender 2.79b and scaled to 1/100 for the .stl file scale down to 35% in the slicer. I accidentally made it a little too big... open wingspan of 20.34m instead of 19.55m ( I blame the drawing I worked off of, and I'm sticking to my story); 4.5% too big.... oh well. shrinking it down that tiny bit will make the wings and stabs too thin for a .4mm nozzle. as usual, the dice are 15mm for reference if I can't print it, I don't post it.
