Description

This is the public Version 2 of the model that I've been working on; really, it's Version 3 (hence the file name) as my actual Version 2 could not print, so I decided to go back to basics. 

I wanted to make more noticeable edits on the previous model I uploaded. I think I got the engines much closer to scale (not that this model is made to scale, but I always thought the engines looked a little small). 

The antenna stick out more in the model, but if you look at the photos, I don't think they really printed well enough to survive ripping out the supports. Perhaps if printed a bit larger, they'd be better.

If you download this, please post a print! I'd love to see others print this beautiful plane, especially as we seem to be moving on from the E-3 and towards the E-7. Personally, I'd hope we get a new platform with the iconic Rotodome!

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

I made the engines larger, and made the antennas on the tail and wing tips more pronounced. On the Rotodome by Oz, I made it more spherical instead of a cylinder.
