Description

First off this is a remix from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5187508. However it won't let me add that as a remix.

Second off I scaled it down for my needs but it will print as large as you can fit on the plate.

The fuselage is printed separate from the wheels and rotors. I did not try to print them together due to support requirements. I simply glued the rotor heads into the holes. Or you can leave them removable for easier transport.

The brim added on the fuselage requires you to find the holes for the wheels and remove the brim. Or you can do like I did and drill it out so it has a much nicer finish. I scaled the wheels up as well so they weren't so tiny and breakable.

Bigger than I expect! (That’s what she said) Fuseluge came out great, blades not so much. The blades want to separate at the plate touching section like they are on a raft. Also the blades are not “correct”. They are both the same. One of the heads has to go the opposite direction

It can definitely be scaled to whatever size you'd like. The blades separating is simply because they are printed with supports. If you printed without, they wouldn't print at all, due to the rotor head being slightly raised above the blades. Also, they need to be printed upside down to avoid the dowel being on the plate and having even more supports. Even printed upside down it requires supports. The blades not being correct is kind of nit picky IMO. Yet you left out the lack of chin bubble windows, the full size door on the right instead of the half door ending just above the fuel cell, etc...

I agree very nit picky! Love the model so much I printed 2. Please do not take it negatively. Just giving a honest review for the next enthusiast.

Oh I don't take much personally. I also didn't design the file, the original file is on the thingiverse link. However I do know what is wrong with it (I'm an Army Aviator). I don't have the time of day to fix it, i'd really have to redo it.
