Westland Whirlwind for microarmor

thingiverse

Westland Whirlwind British heavy fighter of early ww2. While is was quite good, it was not quite good enough. It was underpowered and as it was designed to use the Rolls-Royce peregrin engine, it would have meant a huge redesign to use a more powerful engine. It was retired in 1943. model in full dimensions in blender 2.79b and scaled to 1/100 for the .stl file scale down to 35% in the slicer. as usual, the dice are 15mm for reference if I can't print it, I don't post it. model is based on a model made by Emmanuel Baranger for the FlightGear sim. The original .blend file is licensed as CC-BY-SA. https://www.blendswap.com/blends/view/67831 I cleaned the files up for printing as a single manifold mesh, and thickened parts to make them print 1/285th scale with a .4mm nozzle. ** modded my printer and am still trying to dial it in.
