Exportet as .dxf from Lightburn. I hope it´s usable for maybe other machines like plotters.

 

Just ignore the wavy outline of the "Miss Virginia"-Lettering, it comes out just fine, because of the small size.

Thanks, MiloMinder.  Yes it's certainly useable in other machines. For example, the .dxf file imports directly into Silhouette Studio as a cut file (I have Designer edition, but will work in Basic also).  For other plotters and cutting machines, there are many sites/apps that will convert the dxf to other vector formats such as svg so that your file can be used.

 

For others: as MiloMinder stated,  MIss Virginia is "wavy",  and that's because it (apparently) was scanned and then converted to vector format -- meaning it's composed of literally hundreds of nodes. Yes, at a small cut size it appears OK**, but the cutting machine will be doing a heck of a lot of teeny tiny zig zags. It's  possible to machine or manually simplify the trace, but that process normally results in some distortion. It takes more effort, but manual tracing would produce much smoother and truer results.

** Thanks again .... I didn't do the math to figure out the scale.

 

Edit: I just saw in the LightBurn file that you posted that it's 1/48.

MiloMinder,

 

I posted the "Miss Virginia" lettering as a new, less "wavy" svg that can supplement your svg file if one wants.  Note that the lettering is different on each side of the airplane - "straight" lettering on the left side, and italics on right.
