The kit was originally designed at 1/72 scale, but I enlarged it to my preferred 1/33 scale.



Here we can see the source file together with my references.



(Please note that I added some digital textures and colors)


The first step is to start with part of the fuselage:



After a few careful cuts it looks like this:



Then comes the edge coloring. I made it using a fine tip felt marker:



As you can see I laminated the printed page several times in order to get a more proportional thickness of the wood elements.


Now you can see the work of the basic fuselage frame was completed:




A front image shows that the result is fairly good.



So far, so good.
Hope the rest of the plane is as easy as this frame.

See you soon!

WOW!!!!
