Gi joe Adventure Team Action Man Helicopter Tail

thingiverse

This replacement part fits Gi Joe's Helicopter, specifically the tail section. Many enthusiasts search for this piece because it was prone to breaking and became a sought-after collectible among Gijoe Adventure Team scale 1/6 (or 12") action figure owners. As a Brazilian collector, I can attest that Brinquedos Estrela produced both the Helicopter and the action figures locally. Like fellow collectors worldwide, this part proved elusive to find. In my collection, I had a broken and incomplete tail piece, making it harder to create an accurate 3D model - I relied on reference pictures to get it right. To ensure accuracy, I measured the original part using a digital caliper and designed the model in Tinkercad. This first version has its flaws, but as you can see from the post-printing photos, it turned out well enough for most collectors to be satisfied with a replica of this hard-to-find part.
