Junkers JU-52 transport for microarmor

thingiverse

Modeling a Ju-52 transport for my friend in our wargaming club has been an exciting project. Using Blender 2.79b, I created the model from 3-view prints that were easily found online. I meticulously modeled the plane to its full dimensions but scaled it down to 1/100th for the STL file. To get it to a 1/285th scale (6mm), I simply scaled up the .STL in my slicer by 35%. When slicing, be sure to cut at a 45-degree angle from nose-down to ensure that the landing gear is strong enough. Just remember, when removing supports, handle the parts carefully to avoid breaking off the delicate landing gear.
