Thank you guys. All of your methods work on glueing photoprints (or what you call photo paper), but what I use is normal PVA white glue for most part and CA glue sparingly to close the gaps and around edges. Mind you, CA glue is a one-go thing. Once it goes wild, it's gone for good. The traces the glue run over are irreparable. If that happens, my advice is don't do anything just let it run but control the direction it runs, preferably to less noticeable areas. Let it dry completely before examining how much damage has been done for any remedy at all.

Many times I have to peel off the top (protective) layer of the underside of the photoprint for laminating on a sheet of normal paper for better adhesion when joining parts. But don't overdo it or you'll destroy or disrupt the texture of the smooth glossy surface. This works very well with my small scale 1/200 models like the Crusader that I've done and Harriers that I'm doing. The advantage of using photoprints is that all the tiny details show up undisturbed and the glossy finish is beyond compare with many prints from most computer printers. I have seen Canon printers, very good but too costly consumables.

In order to preserve the prestine condition of the parts when building the model, the only easy and do-able way is to use food wraps but ONLY on glossy prints, not on matt prints. For matt prints, you'll have to use sticky tapes but the down side is that when peeling them off after finishing the model, it's a tedious and very cautious A.P.I.T.A. job. Well, that's my two-cent.

No.15 North American T-39 Sabreliner 1/72

The Sabreliner is now done in photoprints at No.15 in this series. It's a jet of the 60's, old
yet likable and the model itself is a pleasure to try your hands on.

Left this one out. I like the reflection on the vertical fin, an effect using photoprint.

Talking about repaint, why don't you do another Sabreliner as that one on your webstore page?
And then bundle it up for sale. That looks like a good one in blue and white.

Papermate you must have a million of these beta builds clogging up your lifestyle! if your willing to part with some remember that Falco is willing to buy them from you at a reasonable price and yes I will pay for shipping. The offer will always stand so whenever your ready just PM me. I am working on a "paper airplane museum" project and I could really use some very nice builds (My skills are not up to par yet unfortunately... but I am getting there).

Thanks for your message, Falco. I've just come back from holiday and would consider your
suggestion seriously. When I have come up with something, I'll PM you. Thanks again.

HI, I'm back on business with the Transall and have found some camo errors as shown in
the attached pictures. Have also corrected them for Aaron's reference.

This is why I hate Camo. At least the lines line up though.
