Published description
OVERVIEW
A civilian flying-boat airframe with a boat-shaped hull, elevated wing, twin printed nacelles and retractable wingtip floats. The ivory, navy and yellow finish is an illustrated paint scheme on the actual source geometry. Cockpit glazing is painted onto the solid canopy; no windows, motors or propellers have been fabricated. This digital package is not a physically built or flight-certified aircraft.
DISPLAY AND INCLUDED RESOURCES
The assembled display installs 50 original components with floats retracted. The editable project retains all 54 embedded source meshes: two optional water-rudder halves and two float-support joints are preserved separately, uninstalled. Their purchased wire, couplings and support hardware are absent. Source geometry and required credits remain intact.
Nacelles are positioned from original mechanical attachment axes and mating boundaries. The original cowling shells have an illustrative sliding axial fit checked against sampled mesh sections. The supplied guide requires adjustment to the actual purchased propulsion stack; its physical clearance is not certified. Motors, propellers, ESCs, batteries, servos, receiver, wire linkages, clevises, wing braces and fasteners are not supplied as printable geometry. Clear exhibition supports in the images are photographic props excluded from the airframe downloads.
The source archive preserves 62 distinct resources plus 54 extracted native STL instances. Its 119 members include these 116 payloads, an English guide, checksums and a technical-role inventory. Payloads comprise 32 standalone STL files, 13 native factory projects, 13 legacy G-code files, two PDFs, one reference image and one INI. The INI is folder metadata, not a slicer preset. Native embedded right-side parts and variants are retained. Authored-coordinate STL and baked printing-scene STL resources are identified separately.
Names and dependency references were changed together and checked numerically. Original-slicer GUI compatibility is not certified. Optional old G-code job-name comments were replaced with opaque labels; non-comment executable bytes are unchanged. No machine commands were executed.
DIMENSIONS AND SCALE
The prepared installed display measures about 1,700.00 mm span × 1,046.74 mm length × 307.64 mm height, excluding optional mechanisms and photographic supports. The source guide describes a semi-scale design and reports 1,702 mm span with floats up, 1,613 mm with floats down and 1,046 mm length. These are not physical-print measurements. The source scale notation is ambiguous; an exact historical reduction ratio is not certified. Files use millimetres. Uniform scaling changes thin walls, holes, clearances and hardware compatibility. The assembled display is not a one-piece print layout.
Manufacturing & assembly notes
Untested thin-wall airframe. Read supplied assembly and wire-pattern PDFs and review each native print project. Historical source settings mention PLA, 0.4 mm nozzle and 0.25 mm layers; not a tested universal profile. Regenerate machine-specific G-code. Assembled display is not a print plate. Purchased propulsion, electronics and linkage hardware are absent; optional mechanisms remain separate. Cowling axial position is adjustable and illustrative. No physical fit, watertightness, flight or original-slicer GUI compatibility certified.
