Fa 223 easy print

thingiverse

Not so Easy to print Focke Achgelis Fa 223 Drache 1/100 scale, may want some greebling if scaled up. The windscreen on this is based on the prototype, which I thought looked more interesting and had more of that 1930s scifi look. Some details have been changed for looks/ printability. The rotors need to be bent by hand for either resting or flying as they are super floppy looking either way. Assembling the wing struts is kind of a pain, and in my model I lost one of the tail struts in the carpet so I didn't put the other one on. The interior volume in the body needs to be filled with something heavy to keep it from tipping backwards. I made it so you can assemble the whole model except the windshield so you can balance the model. Image is of model printed in 1/52 with a 3dbreed American figure for scale. The rotors file and main file can nest together to print on one plate. I don't plan on releasing this as a resin file as it seems a monstrous waste of screen time. Scale by 1.56 for gaslands / hotwheels / 1/64 Scale by 1.786 for 28mm / 1/56 || Apparently 1/52 (x1.923) looks best for heroic 28mm.
