You have quite a collection there. That last one is particularly eye-catching

The F-105 is really nice too. I've got a repaint in the works for one of those...

Thanks.

The Comanche, I had some tail issues as well. Not a clean fit but with some tweaking it'll work.

And Vermin King, I'm still partial to landing gear, but stands... I'll need a nice one. Actually with landing gear, it's only the rolling of wheels I dislike.

May I ask what sort of paper you use for your builds? Or do you coat them in something for that glossy shine?

Regular 160gsm white board, colour laser printer, no coatings.

Laser print? How you get such clean folds without the toner flaking off?

[Vermin_King]

Excellent question. I went back to inkjet over the flaking issue, but if I had a solution to it, I'd go back.

I've heard that using a spray coating like any of the Krylon products helps prevent the flaking.

But, not all laser printers are equal.

I had a laser printer once, and I found that if I set it to heavy stock, it held the paper under the heater longer, and melted the toner better so it penetrated more. I never had flaking issues.

Very clean build, execellent job. What kind of glue did you use, was it PVA or something else?
