Sorry my timings was off Ray, but I think you'll have plenty of chances to use this trick. I doubt we've seen the last micro MiG 21 from you.....

No reason not to, good point Chris. I guess I'm just being a traditionalist paper modeler (whatever that means). Actually in my case, the supply of paint I mixed up to match the Orlik green is getting dangerously low, so printing the bulk and just doing touch up will help conserve what I have to the bitter end (I hope!).....

Thanks for the confirmation WG! I figured this wasn't new tecnology, just seemed like a no-bainer.
As a follow-up to this afternoon's activities, I waited an hour and tried to pull off the framing I placed on my test piece:
The paper separated and I had a hard time scraping off what was left behind with my fingernail, so as Willygoat says "works great"! I'm going to use the Orlik parts as patterns and line this thing tonight.
