Lockheed U-2B/C Spyplane
Ultra high altitude reconnaissance aircraft operated by Central Intelligence Agency and flown by USAF, RAF and Taiwan Air Force.
These are the first batch of U-2 and they operated in the most famous missions during cold war flying over USSR, Cuba, Suez channel, China (by Taiwanese pilots) and wherever CIA and Nato wanted to snoop.
The models provided , IMO, are the most representative variants: U-2B and U-2C (some reports that Captain Gary Powers was flying an U-2C when he was shot down).
Models 1:100 scale; print test at 1:300 with 0.2mm nozzle (but still sliceable with 0.4mm nozzle and 1:300 scale) and 0.12 mm layers.
Printed with a Ender3 as shown in the image taken from PrusaSlicer 2.0.
I opted for the two-part version to keep most of the tail and nose details; use some sandpaper and in the end the glued joint is not so visible and once painted almost invisible.
Ciao
