TF-1 Skyhawk propeller ground attack aircraft (articulated propeller, pre-plated)

This is one of the aircraft in my original weapon vehicle trilogy's aerial combat series, codenamed TF-1, Chinese name "Skyhawk". It is a cyberpunk-style propeller fighter from a parallel universe, primarily designed for ground fire support. It is equipped with a 30mm autocannon, four 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and can carry four high-powered unguided rockets under its wings, and one 500-pound aerial bomb under its fuselage. The aircraft uses an air-cooled Merlin engine, with an effective horsepower of up to 1750, and a combat radius of nearly 800 kilometers. The fuselage adopts a traditional rear-triangle fixed landing gear layout for easy maintenance. The cockpit is open-top, with the option to add a glass cover when necessary. (The above are my performance parameter settings for this aircraft, just for entertainment, hahaha).

Model dimensions: 135mm long, 163mm wide, 68mm high, approximately the size of an adult's palm.

Tools needed:

• Needle-nose pliers
• super glue

 

Notes:

• The model parts are small, so please be careful when removing them from the printer to avoid losing or breaking them;
• Aside from the tires and propeller which do not require super glue, all other parts should be secured with super glue;
• The rear landing gear's fixing shaft is quite small, please be careful during installation;
• Before printing, please clean the build plate, ensure filament is properly dried, and perform flow rate calibration;
