After the Printables takedown of one of my Benchy cored models due to the original Benchy licence restrictions, I deleted ALL my Benchy cored models. With the recent release of the Benchy into the public domain it has opened the door to re upload the models I had previously deleted (if I can even find them all in my backups and I didn't delete them all).  

When I created and uploaded the Binky fleet as replacements, I moved or deleted the original models from my primary back up drive altogether so they may not all come back. 

All the photos and print guides are likely long gone apart from a few images I used elsewhere. As such the only files and info here are likely to be minimal with only the actual models being provided along with perhaps a couple of old pictures.

Note:- When I created the new BINKY fleet to replace the Benchy, I continued upgrading and improving ‘the Binky versions’ while at the same time abandoning any additional improvements to the Benchy versions. After the takedowns I lost all interest in working on any of the Benchy models altogether. TLDR? Binky models are easier to print and continued getting improvements, while Benchy model improvements fell by the wayside.

F16 Benchy. It's a Benchy, with wings. Slots in nicely with my other Benchies.  I did try adding the an air scoop,  but no matter how I shaped or placed it, it kept giving it a silly face like something from Finding Nemo so I opted for a stock Benchy front.

When it comes to printing it?  It obviously needs supports. I printed it just to test it out.  The wings are thin, the fuel tanks are close to the wings, and the missiles on the wingtips are delicate so care is needed when removing supports., but it can definitely be printed just fine.

I stopped my support cleanup to do pictures before completing the removal of all the remaining material as I didn't want to break anything before getting some photos. I needn't have worried as it all came off fine in the end.  Though I would say take extra care around the wings when snapping supports off as they are the most delicate area of the print.  

I did the test print as a fast print so I was genuinely surprised it turned out as well as it did.

Did I mention that it will need supports?   :-)
