This is astatic model (won't fly) of the moder JS3 racing glider with its retractable jet engine extended. The model comes into one ready to use bluid plate.

Printed just fine on my Ender 3 with 0.16mm PLA layers, after a slicing done with PusaSlicer. Due to the winglets supports are needed, at least for the outer wing parts.

No raft or brim used, these would probably be a pain to remove ^^

You may also want to check my full collection: ASK-13, my Br905 Fauvette, my JS3, Janus C, Libelle H205, Horten IVa and my Ka6e. Note that due to the wingtips and the high aspect ratio, the JS3 is slightly more difficult to print.

Finishing

• Basic finishing can be done with just acrylic paint applied with a brush or even using a felt pen.
• For a pro finish I use the following:
  • Rough sanding of the model
  • Apply UV resistant epoxy resin witha brush
  • Fine grain sanding
  • Acrylic paint applied with airbrush
  • Clear acrylic coating applied with airbrush

If you like that model please consider making a small donation to the "Cartable & Sparadrap" charity supporting school for children in Toulouse hospitals. Thanks :-)
