In Top Gun: Maverick, Captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell takes his need for speed to a new realm: the hypersonic realm, that is. The Top Gun team made a logical choice. After all, the fictional SR-72 “Darkstar” hypersonic aircraft is meant as a follow-on to the SR-71, which the Skunk Works also developed. Both are high-speed, manned strategic reconnaissance jets. The difference is that while the SR-71 had a top speed of Mach 3.3, the movie’s SR-72 is firmly in hypersonic territory, reaching Mach 10, or 7,672 miles per hour.

I can not now start on fab.com, so if you want to buy this model search it on CGtrader.
@lmalkovskii STL has no gears. They are too complicated and i am afraid 3D printer could not handle them. Prepare landing gear might be complicated, because as far as i know it has to be 1 manifold geometry, and landing gears are usually separated objects overlapping each other like wheel and axis.
So finally of course you can use bolean modifier to make one manifold object, but difficult to say how 3d software will handle such operation.
@NETRUNNER_pl does the .STL file have the landing gear down? Would it be easy for me to separate the model up so I could make it a model kit for personal use?
Model is heavily rebuild to match movie plane even better. All textures are updated and most of all model is rigged and animated.
Awesome! Love the way it came out!
