Background
Work conducted for the Combat Air Museum, Topeka, Kansas involved the origination of the 3D model (from scratch), with the objective of 3D printing an 80% scale version, for mounting onto an 80% scale model of an Airco DH2 WW1 fighter. This work was carried out whilst working for Kansas University, although I ultimately concluded this project on my own, using my own 3D printer.
