[1/16] Aerial Scooter: Shahed-136

【1/16 Scale】Iranian "Shahed - 136" Movable Assembly Model

Model Introduction: Regarding the "Shahed - 136"

The Shahed - 136 is a type of suicide drone (loitering munition) developed by Iran. Due to its low manufacturing cost, extremely simple structure, and the motorcycle - engine - like roar it emits during flight, it has been jokingly called the "flying moped" by netizens. It adopts a typical large - swept delta - wing layout, which is stable in structure and highly recognizable, and is one of the representative equipment in the history of modern drone warfare.

Highlighted Design Features of the Model

This model is restored and optimized according to a 1/16 real - life scale, aiming to provide players with a desktop ornament that is both display - worthy and fun to play with.

• High - Fidelity Restoration: Accurately restores the delta - wing fuselage, tail wing, and the unique engine compartment structure.

• Fully Movable Design: 

                        Propeller: The structure has been enlarged and optimized. It not only ensures the aerodynamic structure but also improves the success                            rate of 3D printing, enabling smooth rotation when blown by air.

                        Elevator: The elevator of the tail wing is designed as a swing - type structure, facilitating the simulation of different flight postures.

• Modular Display: Comes with a special streamlined display stand. The model can be easily detached from the stand at any time for close - up play.
• Screw - Free Assembly: The entire fuselage is designed for splicing. Under appropriate printing accuracy, assembly can be completed without glue or screws.

Printing Setting Recommendations

To achieve the best display effect, it is recommended to refer to the following settings:

• Printing Material: PLA
• Layer Height: 0.2mm (achieves a good balance between printing efficiency and detail performance)
• Fill Rate: The default (15% - 20%) can meet the strength requirements.
• Support: Support needs to be enabled (it is recommended to use "tree - like support" for easy disassembly and to protect the wing surface).

Assembly Instructions

• Part Processing: After removing the support, check if there are any remaining supports at the splicing interfaces. If necessary, use a sanding stick to clean them slightly.

• Splicing: Align and connect the wing, fuselage, and tail components according to the hole positions.

  Note: Due to the differences in the shrinkage rate of consumables from different brands and the printer accuracy, if the splicing joint is too loose, a small amount of model glue can be used for fixation; if it is too tight, gently sand the tenon.

• Install Movable Parts: Install the optimized propeller onto the rear shaft and test the smoothness of rotation.
