Agreed, its a great looking fighter. Wish there was a good digital version of it, with cockpit and gear.

The Phantom was a work horse that lasted for decades. I can remember being stationed in Japan, when the last Active Duty Marine Squadron (VMAQ-2, the Playboys) flew out for the last as they transitioned to F-18s.

Hi Dario, welcome to the forum! No the kit is very easy to build. You can see the process in my pictures, and the kit comes with a diagram of how to assemble it. I printed this on cardstock, using a 65lb (~160gsm) weight card as a personal preference because I shrunk the model down by over half. If you build the kit in its original size, you could use up to 110lb (~200gsm) card stock (also known as index card) without any trouble.
Just take it slow and form the parts well before you glue, it will come together nicely! Looking forward to seeing your build!

Dario,
You can use plain paper (20lb or 75gsm weight) for very small models. However, most card models rely on the stiffness of the paper/card to properly form the model's shape or to provide support. You can cut up a lightweight file folder (usually 65lb or 180 gsm) to make your own card sheets - if your printer will take them. You can also print the models on plain paper and glue the printed sheet to various weights of card. Most that use that technique use spray adhesive to glue the printed sheet to the card. When dry, cut out the parts and start building ... Yogi Addendum - we've referenced this many times, but http://www.cardfaq.org/faq/ remains a great one-stop reference for basic and advanced techniques. Also, our search function will turn up threads and posts with tons of helpful ideas. |
