Description

A segmented and print ready Boing B-52 Stratofortress.

Model, once assembled, is 560mm (22") wide (wingspan) and 484mm (19") long (nose to tail).

Supports are required, and both wings should be printed in a vertical orientation to save on material and improve surface appearance.

The included print profile is for an “all in one” print (two plates). I personally recommend printing one piece at a time just in case there is any issue.

Goddamned LH wing wouldn't stay together using either gorilla glue or a hot glue stick.

@Catsmgee

What gorilla glue did you use? I used the gel version for the main print with good results, but you could try the baking soda trick too. Thanks for the feedback though.

@adooley1684

Replying to @Catsmgee :

Super Glue Gel XL......what kills me is the RH wing didn't have any issues. I wasn't aware of the baking soda trick. I'll give that a try. Thanks! I'll give you a star back since I think it was more of a function of the glue curing. If the baking soda trick works I'll upgrade to 5.

Replying to @adooley1684 :

Weird, that's exactly what I used. I did scrape up the surfaces a bit but not much. I'll take a closer look at the model tomorrow and see if there's anything I missed.

@becksprinter

do I have to glue these together or what

The designer has replied

@Catsmgee

Yes, you glue the two body halves together, then the tail and the nose sections. I glued the wings on last. I'm not experienced enough to design something snap-fit.

@becksprinter

k thx

@becksprinter

@rgreen318

By far, one of the best B-52 models out there! The B-52 is my son's favorite aircraft. Once this one is assembled, it comes out with a wing span of 18 inches. It is huge but beautiful.
