A beta builder for me

[Dragos]

Hello , anyone willing to test a DB Jager?
For more infos about the model I've posted a image below .

If you are not in a hurry, I have 2 builds in progress at the moment.

Email me the file.

File received.

Printing.

I have printed this out on A4 120gsm plain paper. I had to reduce in size by 70% in order to make it fit.

All colours and patterns have come out nice.

First Impression

The build looks simple enough, no instructions supplied, with parts numbered. There are also a number of formers, these are not numbered but the print location would indicate which sections they belong too.

Some parts have tabs, some do not, so I'll make those as I go along.

Just a quick note on instructions. This sort of model is great for newcomers but they may need a bit more than a numbered diagram of the plane.

Cheers JTF

I will more detailed instructions

Finally got round to starting the build. (Got caught up in one of my own designs)

The main fuselage is together. I was unable to use the cross section formers, they are to big.

I'd guess if the was done in a 3D program you'd have the cross section and the fuselage skin the same size. When I rolled the fuselage skin the internal diameter is reduced due to paper thickness so is smaller than the cross section diameter.

Having said that, I have built section 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 without the cross section and they went together fine.

I believe that all the digitally designed models have this problem. I guess I have to resize the cross-sections.

[nothing]

yes the formers have to be scaled down. i have a problen getting that part right.

Dragos.

Can you check your tail fin as one of the swastikas is reversed.

Oups, I will solve the problem

Anyone wants to test a ironclad ? It's the CSS Atlanta. The model is very simple and colored. Below is a sample
