The Tu-14 is a renowned Russian light bomber that boasts jet propulsion, with an impressive production run of over 6,000 units. This remarkable number earns it a coveted spot at the top of its category. For nearly three decades, from 1950 to 1980, the VVS proudly operated this aircraft. Even today, North Korea remains one of its last users, utilizing the Tu-14 for training exercises, reconnaissance missions, and even towing aerial targets. Interestingly, China has also produced a variant known as the H-5, while Czechoslovakia manufactured it as the B-228. To replicate this iconic aircraft in miniature form, a 1:100 scale model can be printed using a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.12 mm layers at a 1:285 ratio. The printing process involves dividing the model into two halves, as depicted in an accompanying image, before carefully gluing them together to complete the intricate design.
