Nice NOBI´s Vampire!! being a small airplane it longs 30cm/12 inches even at that large (very large!) scale. I´ll try your method for enlarging and upscaling. Mine´s as follow: into the PDF file I go to Tools and take a snapshot with the camera and down/upscale with the print screen. Again, fine work!!!

That's nice to hear Herky. Any chance of a photo some time?

Must be well looked after - you know the fuselage from the front to rear of the cockpit is made of balsa wood and ply? I first saw this on one that had landed short and was quite suprised at the time. Later was able to look on the maintenance line.

One thing I studied was Materials Science, and wood if used correctly is stronger then steel. Weight was an issue with the ealy jets I later found out, so it's use made sense.

The glue used was.... Guess.. The trusty PVA!

So a paper model is more true to life in more ways then one.....
