So far, so good.
I began this project by making a scan of each page and printing out a clean copy on 67# (.009") vellum bristol stock. I did not have a choice here, due to the poor quality of the old paper, the model would have been impossible to build using the original pages.
Hull Construction:
I first laminated the formers onto a sheet of 1.0mm board stock using 3M 77 spray adhesive. After cutting them out, I was surprised that they fit together as well as the did. There was only one small issue with a hatch opening on part #3 (see photo's below). The kit has the "P" and "L" (Left and Right) reversed on that part to show where it attaches to the side of parts 1P & 1L. Not a big deal, I'm just glad that I found this now when I could still easily fix it.
Next I will begin to apply the skins. I only hope that they fit as well as the formers.
