1:144 Red Alert 2 - Kirov airship / no AMS

Back to the grind after the New Year, updates have now resumed!

The Kirov Airship is a star among Red Alert's iconic units, and even those who haven't played Red Alert may have seen it in daily life

Initially, I thought there were plenty of Kirov models and didn't want to join in by re-modeling it. However, I found that most online models incorporated too much of the authors' personal preferences during design, making the proportions feel strange. This is why I reluctantly modeled it myself

The geometric proportions of my model strictly follow the game's VX voxel files, and I've incorporated many optimized designs specifically for FDM printing

Why is the original model designed at 1:144 scale

During the modeling process, I discovered that my series is 1:72 scale. If printed at the original scale, the finished Kirov Airship would reach a terrifying 26cm in length!!!

Printing it at the series' 1:72 scale, I personally felt it was too large and not suitable for desktop display

Of course, for friends who want to try, I will also provide the download in the print profile

Perhaps some of you have no concept of this size. In the image below, the smaller one is 1:144 scale (13cm in length), and the larger one is an enlarged 1:100 scale (19cm in length)
