Hei, Bruno.
Awesome models.

Very nice profiles, and the Skua is the example how ugly duckling you are you will have your day. First recorded victory over Germany (a Do-18) and sinking a cruiser!
Not bad!

Thanks, fellows.

Here a test in progress.
please tell me it looks short, little and ugly

Finished. Skua was sent to Ecardmodels! :-)

But what a Fella!

I've added some Texas ANG F-16s. Still unsure about the Lone Star Gunfighters anniversary scheme from 2011. It's not part of the download for now.

Bruno, the new test build does look like a SLUF.

OK. This is likely going to come off as the dumbest question ever on this forum, but hopefully, I am not the only one to wonder.

With especially Bruno's models, which are designed to be made of paper, not card stock, how do you manage to get a credible, straight, non-warped long cylinder? For example, the main fuselage cylinder. This part does not have a particularly large diameter, and the strip is narrow and long. How do you guys do it? with card, it is much easier, as you can glue a strip inside and then just put the edges against each-other.

I'm not sure where did you get that info.I'm printing all Bruno's models on 67lb cardstock and enlarged ones on 110lb cardstock.For what I do anything thinner than 67lb paper is nearly useless.

He actually got that info from me. I use 80 gram paper. In the beginning I designed my models horizontally on the page but that did not allow for nicely curved cylinders. Now that I design them vertically the rolling goes much smoother.

Rolling and gluing the parts is easier when using "long" round tools and squeezers. Anyway that is the way I do it. But you can always remove the tab, create an inner tab and glue side to side.

I agree with Bruno. Working on the F-105 made me realise that putting the cylinders vertically on the page made them easier to roll. When I return to the MiG-21 family, they'll be rotated by 90°. I also use the separate tab solution for most cylinders/cones.

(I also work with 80gsm paper or at most 90 or 100 gsm for bigger models)
