Well if you insist, must copy it from this fragile paper, nothing remotely like card. Consistancy of an old shopping bag is what I'm reminded of. The artwork is a RAF version. Faded rather badly.

Paper quality is a major issue with the majority of these older MM kits. I would have really, really preferred to recolor my RR kit, but the ruling was to build these kits as originally supplied. So... I think scanning and printing the existing kit is your only real option if you want to keep this one within the contest rules. Unless the boss thinks otherwise!?

Papercut, that is kind of you, and Chris I'm not sure that all contestants have access to scans. I am not clear as to what would be fair to all entries. Color copies should be accessible, though (kinko's or similar if nothing else) I'm off to town to purchase ink for the printer, so will be interested in any entrant's opinion on this. Vote early and often.

My vote would be build the original. The "paper" >cough< is as much part of the challenge as the design

I believe that in the start thread for this competition, the contest initiator (or should I say instigator?) allowed that as long as we have the originals in our position, that prints are acceptable.
Glen, I'm not sure if I understood you correctly. If you need scans, I can scan my copy and send it to you... seeing as how you have an original kit. I've tried to build one of these old kits and the original paper is more than just a challenge. The kit I was building crumbled in my hands after a few days! Chris |

Thanks, Papercut. I have to agree now that I have mine in my hands.
I think some of these very old kits are not buildable on the original paper. Mine(1990), Dan's(1987), certainly Papercut's as the oldest. I can see from mine that I wouldn't be able to build the cowl. At least it's still a poor design, though:D.
