It helps that the vehicle is made from mostly flat planes.

I used these measurements from the RPF to calculate the scale: My estimation is - full length (nose to end of fuselage) is 23.2m, wingspan (from the fuselage center) is 26.4m, Height is around 4.7m

So your model looks like it's closer to 1/144.

Scifi and Fantasy / Dune Ornithopter - 3D Print
« Last post by Buzzbomb on Today at 10:59:18 AM »
Found this Card type model on Thingiverse and the images made it look more 3 dimensional than most Card models
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6507750 There are other options on there as well, but this tweaked my interest.

My first couple of attempts to get it to print failed, for various reasons, so I got a buddy to check print and this is his run, in black, which sucks a lot as far as photos go. This run is also in low res.



Some instructions are provided at the original Printable posting and these, well guidelines and fairly loose at that. So went at it and it really did not take that long.
I did find that the location slots and/or the tabs needed some filing/sanding in almost every case. Once done the guidelines get you on the way



Construction done




I might try and print again in a finer mode and then continue it through. With a bit of work and extra detailing up, this could possibly turn out alright.
This scales out to around 1/72 I reckon

Found a couple of decent images of the MAFFS (modular airborne firefighting system) that I may use to cobble together a whiffery version for this project.

LJ: If the MAFFS II proves too big for the V-22, a more compact option might be the Coulson RDS. One variant of RDS has been tailored to the C295 fuselage ... the cargo hold of which is a little taller and quite a bit wider than the Osprey. Looking at the photo of the RDS installed in the C295, it does look like these tanks would slide into the V-22.
