F-8E Crusader

The legendary "Last Gunfighter" is finally ready to hit the printing press. Modelled at a precise scale of 1:100, I rigorously tested this design on my FDM with a 0.4mm nozzle, carefully calibrating it to 35% (remarkably close to 1:285) and angling it precisely as shown. To cater to adventurous printers, I've also included a split version - half left and half right - allowing you to print without supports and merge them seamlessly at the end. If this approach yields better results, please let me know or share any suggestions you may have. Edit: July 14th, 2019 I made some subtle refinements to enhance the printing experience; the split version has been erased from this revised design.
