About the Tillamook Air Museum
The Tillamook Air Museum, an aviation museum, sits south of Tillamook, Oregon, United States, on a former air station of the U.S. Navy. It occupies Hangar B, a former blimp hangar described as the world's largest clear span wooden structure. The U.S. Navy built the six-blimp hangar for Naval Air Station Tillamook in 1942, while World War II was under way.
The hangar is 327 m (1,072 ft) long and 90 m (296 ft) wide, covers more than 2.8 ha (7 acres), and stands 59 m (192 ft) tall. Each door weighs 27 t (30 short tons) and is 37 m (120 ft) tall. Its companion, Hangar A, burned down on August 22, 1992.
Between mid and late May 1992 the Blimp Hangar Museum opened, and the Mini Guppy was flown to it in September 1993. Jack Erickson's collection arrived in mid 1995, and the museum took the name Tillamook Naval Air Station Museum. By late 2000 it was being called the Tillamook Air Museum. An exhibit hall holds rare wartime and aviation artifacts, among them a Luftwaffe flight jacket from World War II, a Japanese Army winter flight suit from the same war, and pieces of the German airship LZ-129 Hindenburg.

Mini Skyline builds the file for you in your browser and exports 3MF, which every major slicer opens. If you need an STL, open the 3MF in your slicer and export it from there.
How big can I print it?
Any print size from 40 mm across. The Tillamook Air Museum grows with the print: about 13 mm tall on the default 160 mm print. For a model larger than your printer bed, Project Mode splits the area into tiles.
