See how skinny the dorsal line is from the canopy to the vertical stabilizer... That would make the aft fuselage of your model more accurate.

Thank you very much Falco, now it is clear to me. It is very thin, in this model I will not be able to correct it without it being deformed. I have another version and I will take into account this detail. Thank you for making me notice.

Your welcomed.... your build is by no means less than perfect (very clean) but as you know there is always room for improvement. Looking forward to your next build.

Nice Build! I have several of those models in my to-build pile. I take smaller models when I go on business travel and work on them in the hotel room at night.

What weight of paper did you use? I have been trying to figure that out and my usual cardstock looks much too heavy. Plain copier paper? Or something heavier?

Thank you very much.Approximately 140grs.Use the normal paper of 75 and 80grs but for me it was very thin, other boys use it and have excellent results.With these approx. 140grs I feel comfortable, I think you should try different grammages and choose the one that works best for you.

I always printed 1/100 models in plain (80 gsm) copier paper and never thought much about using otherwise. Then by chance when I starting printing at my local Officeworks outlet , found they print on 100 gsm. HUGE improvement.

I already commented that the prints I have to make them in a copying center and there the paper is 75grs, very thin, for the first five 1/100 that I built I use this weight directly and it cost me a lot to avoid dents and join.NOBI I advise 120grs more or less, so I lay on another sheet of 70 and improved noticeably, maybe a little thick. I think that 120grs would be ideal, at least for me. But each one of us has his constructive technique, his way of handling and pasting the role, in short, everyone must find what best suits and is more comfortable.

I recently discovered Georgia-Pacific Super Premium Bright Paper coming in at 105 gsm... I tell you this is by far the best material I have found to build 1/100 planes (at least for me) but I am not saying there is not something even better out there.

Build several Zio in paper of that grammage, 105 grams and I did very well, and the Zio models I think are 1 / 72. And the quality of the paper is sometimes very different between different brands

The last few posts sum it up nicely: finding the best paper regards thickness and quality is pot luck. Keep trying until you hit on the right one.
