CV-22 Osprey

This was a Christmas gift order for 2016 that I created myself since I didn't like any of the online 3D mesh options available. I made modifications to allow the engine nacelles to tilt and the props to rotate, making it perfect for an 8-year-old. Enjoy printing!

On the prop spinner, ignore the holes for the props and eyeball it when attaching the props at 120-degree increments around the prop spinner. Installing the wing shaft: I made a slight mistake earlier. Before joining the fuselage halves and adding the wing tips, cut one end off of the wing shaft. Insert the shaft into one wing tip, then one half of the fuselage, then the other half, then the other wing tip. This will greatly help with proper alignment when joining the parts. After all four parts are joined and the shaft is able to move freely, you can attach the engine nacelles. Test fit the prop shafts to ensure they spin and make adjustments as required. When joining the engine nacelle halves, both the prop shaft and wing shaft have to be inserted. The wing shaft is adhered at the nacelle, while the prop shafts are joined to the prop spinner (not the nacelle). If you want the props to spin, I recommend attaching the nacelles in the forward position to ensure proper alignment. There might be some minor adjustments required to attach the vertical stab to the horizontal stab of the fuselage. Take your time and good luck! How I Designed This: I used Autodesk Maya for the design process.
