Being a big fan of Saabs aircraft designs, I hereby present my take on the J-29 "Tunnan" airplane. The Tunnan was Saab's second jet design and was a worthy opponent to russian mig-15s and US F-86 during exercises. Wikipedia page:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_29_Tunnan

The model here is relatively low detail, I might upload more detailed versions in the future if i continue working on it. The scale is 1:68 (provided no weird things happened at upload) and there shouldn't be any non-manifold edges left.

Landing gear including animations were also modelled in blender but are too thin for printing therefore i didn't include the corresponding files here, if you're interested in the entire .blend file (still WIP, but includes landing gear, animations and simple texture) feel free to send me a message.

How I Designed This

The whole model was designed using Blender and 3-view pictures found on internet. The initial purpose was not to make a printable model but as the airplane took shape I couldn't resist but try and print it, hence this thing. The modelling work continues, detailing stuff that would be too small for most printers (at that scale at least) like cockpit, antennas and probes, etc
