Dear fellow makers,

This is an aircraft token for any board game - I'm using it for an Indiana Jones-type role playing game to indicate on a world map where my party is.
It is a remix of 'WW2 Training Aircraft' by aaronsminiaturescorner on Thingiverse. I've simplified the engines and put it on a 20mm stand.

Enjoy gaming - I hope you like it!
Best wishes from Munich

Assembly

After minimal clean-up, stick on the pole with a drop of glue.

Changes to the original piece

Based on the original model of the aircraft (the complete version), I've identified the weight center point and added a socket on the bottom.
I then simplified the engine design so it can print in one piece.
I've designed the the stand with a slightly converging tip to slip neatly into the socket.
The groove on the pole is to allow excessive glue to leave the socket while pressing the pieces together - althought that proved to be neither necessary, nor was it printing fine at a 45° angle.

I printed it at a 45° angle because of the nice finish with smooth stair-stepping when viewed from above at the gaming table.
However, you will need to support it heavily from below - see third photo.
