This is a model of the Lockheed Martin F35 Lightning II. It is the CV (Carrier Version, F35c) with larger wings that can be flapped upwards to save space in the carrier's hangar.

The scale is approximately 1:330, so if you happen to have a model of an aircraft carrier of the Nimitz class of about a meter's length, you can use the model as flight deck decoration. Or, if you are a kid, you can play with it.

This model is not licensed by Lockheed Martin, the measures are taken from public sources (Wikipedia) and measured from pictures. The accuracy was second to printability.

Notes:

This thing is tiny. Print with sufficiently slow speeds. On my Anet A8, I use 10mm/s for the first layer, and not more than 20mm/s for outer shell. Ironing recommended to get the wings very smooth.

I printed the birds cut in two halves.

Please print the model lying flat on the bed, I still don't know why my STL files come out 90° rotated!

Post-Printing

I printed the birds cut in two halves.
After removing the brim lines, glue the halves together. Some sanding might be required for the version with gear (I had some stringing there)
