All the best and happy modelling,

Bernie,
The kit will be available to those who ask me ... but the problem of assembly instructions ... they are in my head, and not shown in drawings, sorry

Again, really nice graphics work.

Thanks Robert,
Autocad,
do I use it every day for my job (the one that makes me live!!).

This weekend I intend to begin to assemble the model,
I found straw-colored translucent paper (100g./mq.),
I would use it for wings, tail and fuselage, in order to perceive the ribs and structures in layers of opaque and colored paper...
..is an attempt ! ...

An exploded Perspective drawing makes for really good instructions. I think that's one of the nicest models I have ever seen done with AutoCad, your Photoshop skills are most impressive! It's a beauty for sure, I'll take one!

Matt, I too would love a chance to build it. Good to see a draftsmen's skills turned to such work - fascinating!

Really nice camouflage on this model. Your textures are excellent.

Cardist, Zathros and rbeach84,

I will send the drawings after a few tests ... maybe some parts are too presumptuous to 1:48 scale, such as engines and control panel.

Give me a few days, please...

soon,

Good luck with the colored paper experiment - I hope it goes well. Replicating those see-through wing structures is a challenge.

For the moment, this is a challenge lost,
the printing of the paper,fails for big fields of strong color,

both with laser printers, (the color is shifted in vertical)



both with inkjet printers (the color is dragged in horizontal)



I think this,
is related to the impermeability of the polyester present in this type of paper

Perhaps you can lightly seal the paper with an acrylic coating before you print?
