Ernst Udet's Fokker D.VII (design by Fitter)

[Rough Rider]

Rubén,

Very cool build!

I Just purchased the model from Ecardmodels. Have a couple questions for you:

1. What settings did you use to print the PDF file for 1:33 scale?
2. What wieght cardstock did you print the model on?

Hello Rider.
I printed with "no scale" on letter size. That gave me 1/33.
The cardstock I used was 160 grams. It was very good for most of the parts. Some formers and inner structures need to be glued to 1mm cardboard.
I printed the model in a laser printer, an that's why the finish is somehow glossy.

Hope it helps

Rider, I forgot to say:

You can get the improved formers also from ecardmodels. The revised parts were done by Old Troll, and they change slightly respect to the originals but provide a better fit for the formers, specially in the wings. The link is this: 1/33 Better Formers for Fitter's Fokkers - ECardmodels.com Shop - Downloadable models and crafts


Also: I checked and the size of the kit is A4. So please discard my previous advice. I must have printed on A4 size card with "no scale" print option.

If you print on letter size the kit will be slightly smaller, or the page will be cropped.

If you don't have A4 paper, you can use legal size cardstock and print at 100%. This way nothing will be lost and the scale will be 1/33.

Sorry for the wrong information yesterday.

Alfredo: thanks for your comments, and if you come to Colombia again you'll be very welcome. Y por supuesto podemos pasar un rato charlando al calor de un buen tinto!
