Thunderbird Shadow

thingiverse

My son wanted the Thunderbird Shadow vehicle. I couldn't find it anywhere as a 3D print and it even seems to have been discontinued as a model to purchase! It's from the more recent Thunderbirds series so is probably frowned upon by old school Thunderbirds fans. I loved the sleek, stealth look so had a go designing it. The main aircraft is best printed vertically. Supports are needed although not a huge number. I printed with a raft to add support so it didn't topple mid print. The aircraft has a groove for the stand. If you want to print the booster and flame then ensure you scale them in proportion to the aircraft. They can be quite brittle if printed too small and it helps printing them at 100% infill. Feel free to go crazy on the colour of the flame!
