Spirit of St. Louis

Found detailed technical plans of Lindbergh's iconic aircraft online. I aimed to create a build-yourself model that wouldn't need any adhesives. All components were printed simultaneously on a standard 150 mm by 150 mm print bed. The Spirit of St. Louis is the custom-designed, single-engine, single-seat monoplane flown solo by Charles Lindbergh between May 20-21, 1927, during the groundbreaking non-stop flight from New York to Paris for which he received the prestigious $25,000 Orteig Prize.
