1/100 scale is the new black

Brent, I am always amazed by the cleanliness and neatness of your buildings despite the reduced scale of your aircrafts paper models, perhaps it would be a good initiative that Brent, Papermate and many other members, who stand out for their very clean constructions, to contribute in the Tips and Tricks section, its valuable and wise advice to achieve such good results

Maybe a good teaching technique or advice would be to strongly emphasize the things that we should not do, I think that sometimes we learn more from mistakes than from successes,

Thanks Meteor, When I built in 1/33 scale I would only finish 1 out of 10 models I started. Now I finish about 7 out of 10. I don't find that 1/100 scale is too small. The fuselage of a 1/100 plane is bigger than a drop tank of a 1/33 plane and usually with fewer pieces. I only cut with scissors and i can't stay on a line. My best advice is to study pictures and 3 views of the plane to get the fuselage shape right.
Here is my last repaint and mod from the Pedestal convoy. It is Bruno's Sea Hurricane from 800 squadron aboard the HMS Indomitable.

Thank you!. Next up is Nobi's P-47 Thunderbolt repainted as Bill Dunham's Bonnie. I have sent the repaint to Nobi so he should be listing it on his site if you are interested.
