Hi Sergio,
I rolled the refueling probe as small as I could. I then inserted a piece of wire in the middle. I then bent the probe to shape. Thanks everyone for your comments.

Just Wow! A-4 is one of my favorite jets!!!

Thank you very much Brent. I have to keep trying these long rolls so far only failures ending up using wire😁

I have been asked a few times to show how I build my Scissors and Planes models. I have recoloured Bruno's Ju-87D and will document my build. The model is printed on HP Premium 32 paper.

First, is a picture of the stuff I use to build. I build at the coffee table sitting on a sofa watching TV for about an hour a night. When I am done everything goes into the drawer. If you have any questions along the way just ask.
I cut off the joining strips and colour them with the side of a pencil. If the model is dark I press harder, if it is light I press softer. Everything is cut out with scissors. I start with the middle of the fuselage (the piece with joining strips on both ends). I glue the pieces together with glue on the end of a bamboo skewer, this is also one of my rolling pieces.

Many thanks for this tutorial. I am saving all of it and anticipate learning a lot.

What is the role of the eraser in Image c?

Hi Don,
The eraser is used as a base for burnishing parts on. I will be using it for the wheel spats, spinner, flaps, propellers and if there were wing roots I would use it on them too.

It's nice to see you're building a Ju-87 in 1/100, Brent. I don't think I've ever seen a paper model of this plane in such a small scale like this. The Stuka is one of the most popular subjects among the Polish modelers and I've seen hundreds of them in scales like 1/33, 1/32 and 1/50. Of course, I'm talking only about the paper models.
So to me, it will be quite interesting to see one in 1/100. I hope you can achieve an excellent result with it. Good luck!

I don't think I've seen Ju-87 in 1:50-48 scale yet. I will once I enlarge this one

Great job Brent.
