Just getting started.

I chose what seems to be a pretty basic kit, a Soviet UT-1 trainer aircraft in 1/33 scale, so I shouldn't be in to far over my head. But I want to ask some questions so hopefully I can avoid the learning curve mistakes and frustrations.


1. What type and gauge of card stock do you print your kits on..?

2. When printing, what size card stock should I use "legal" or "letter"..? When I tried to print my kit, the sides of the print fit fine, however the top and bottom were chopped. I can "fit" to the size of the card stock (8.5 x 11) but I don't want to shrink the scale. I would prefer all the 1/33 scale kits I build all be to scale with each other.

3. What do you use to scratch build clear canopies and how do you form them..?

4. Also, it looks like some builders scratch build their wheels/tires. Any suggestions..?


Thanks again..!
