Tupolev Tu-16 Badger A

Tupolev Tu-16 Badger A Strategic bomber used by russian air forces for near 40 years. This big fellow has been built in over 1500 pieces and modified as tanker, missile vector, electronic warfare, anti ship attack and reconnaissance; chinese variant Xian H-6 is still in use today. Model 1:100 scale printed at 1:285 with 0.2mm nozzle (but still sliceable with 0.4mm nozzle and 1:300 scale) and 0.12 mm layers. Printed with a Ender3 as shown in the image taken from PrusaSlicer 2.0. I opted for the two-part version to keep most of the tail and nose details; use some sandpaper and in the end the glued joint is not so visible and once painted almost invisible ... well ... better than mine I hope; the nose broke and the wing junction partially melted due to too much glue.
