3D model description

This is a stencil based on the insignia of the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade which is part of the Ukrainian National Guard. This brigade was responsible for the successful Ukrainian counterattack on Hostomel/Anotov airport during the Kyiv offensive.

The airport was initially captured on the 24th of February 2022 by Russian VDV units, however due to unexpected and tenacious defending by Ukrainian units Russian forces couldn't effectively reinforce and resupply the lightly equipped VDV units. The unsupported VDV and purportedly Spetsnaz units were attacked by the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade who surrounded and neutralised the Russian forces in the airport, the remnants of which fled the airfield into the forests of Hostomel.

On the 25th, the Russians finally secured the airport but not without cost. The Ukrainians retreated into Hostomel and set up defences there. And whilst the airport was finally in Russian hands, they were unable to effectively use the airfield as an airbridge due to damage done to the airports facilities. Not only that but the vital time that the 4th Rapid Reaction Brigade had bought for the rest of Ukraine allowed for mobilisation of the AFU and also caused significant delays to the Russian advance. The Battle for Hostomel Airport undeniably saved Kyiv from a rapid decapitation strike and helped lead to the complete stagnation of Russian forces in the Kyiv offensive.

I made this stencil to spray this insignia on the magazines of my BOLT AKS74U airsoft replica, as a sign of respect and to pay homage to the brave buggers who shattered the invincible image of the VDV and allowed Ukraine to live to fight another day. I hope this is of some use.

Initially, this item might be laughably small in your slicer, so make sure you scale it up as you please.

Resolution: 0.3mm, no point doing it at a high resolution for a stencil.
Infill: 2-5%, again not really that important unless you've scaled it up significantly.
Temperatures: 200C Nozzle, 60C Bed. Printed on a Pritt-sticked glass bed. Temperatures will vary with material.
Material: I used PLA, but it doesn't matter.
No supports nor bed adhesion aids, rafts, brims etc.
