Styrene sheets (Evergreen) of 0.13 and 0.25 are almost like paper sheets, actually for cut parts off I could use the scissors.

How to get parts from PDF onto styrene..

- Print the PDF papercraft kit ( in BW ) to print label sheets, labels can be purchased in format A4 and also A3.
- Then stick needed parts to styrene.
- After cut off the parts, unstick paper templates from a new styrene parts.

For sideplates are used two layers 0.25 styrene, aerofoil is from 0.13.

Thanks for sharing the build with us. It would be interested to follow the conversion from the paper models to plastic ones. If it turns out fine, I believe your paper templates will have some success over here :)

Keep us updated...

Am working on new cars, but soon I will try to build base of the car, it is in the scale of 1/20, will be interesting to try to use the engine of the Tamiya FW07.

...but of course, for the engine block, heads and gearbox can also be used template.

Well, currently I have good feelings from that so we will see, after transfering parts went work almost itself.

Question - I bought two types of Microscale glues, but I don´t know, please recommend me the best one..thanks :wink:

Cheers, Rado
