Papermate is already way ahead of me. As expected, I did not get far on the kit this weekend but at least printed the kit at 77% to produce a 1/48 scale model. I will confirm the actual scale once completed, as Murph was unsure of his original scale. Papermate believes it to be 1/37 so that is what I scaled from. I did print duplicates of some pages to ensure I have enough parts when I inevitably foul up. The gear boxes are the biggest challenge. Also, I think that I will use guitar string within the struts. They provide some 'give' without causing permanent bends in the metal.
