This is a simple 1/48-model of the Dassault Mirage III, designed for vase mode.

Initially, it was intended to be a very simple model consisting of only 3 parts. Unfortunately, the integral "fuselageAndWings"-part came out bent and twisted after printing. (Thermal issues I suppose). Therefore, I separated the wings from the fuselage and added an internal structure to the wings that can still be printed in vase mode. In total this resulted in 5 parts for the airframe. But at least, the shape was as it should be.

After all, I think that this model is still worth for publishing. The integral "fuselageAndWings"-part is also included, just in case someone wants to try.

How I Designed This

The shape is adapted for vase mode print.
