Print-and-snap desk display kit. For model builders and desk decorators who want a print-and-play kit: run the plate, snip the gates, and stand a 5.9 in long jet with a 4.3 in wingspan on its 2.4 x 1.7 in base. The flat frame also makes a tidy, giftable package for a shelf or office desk.
Snip the gates, snap it together. Everything arrives on one flat runner frame. Snip the 0.059 in break-off gates, press the two 0.12 in vertical fins into their rear pockets, seat the 1.8 in canopy over the pair of 0.12 in locating pegs, then plug the 0.31 in post into the belly socket and into the display base.
The finished piece, ready to use. Six shapes come off the plate: the 5.9 in long airframe spanning 4.3 in, a 1.8 x 0.63 in canopy, two fins with a 0.87 in root chord and 1.1 in height at 0.12 in thick, a 1.2 in post with a 0.24 in peg, and the 2.4 x 1.7 x 0.24 in rounded base, all carried by the runner frame.
Print detail and edge work. The airframe plate is 0.18 in thick with a 0.1 in top bevel and a 0.035 in bottom chamfer, tapering to a sleek airfoil edge. Panel lines are engraved 0.024 in wide and 0.016 in deep, visible convex edges carry a 0.059 in radius, and the 0.14 in frame keeps the whole kit flat on the bed.
