| Look great. Nice details. Is it skinned with paper? did you use a pounce ( I think it`s called ) wheel on the backside of the paper to get the rivet effect? |

| Ahoy Mr. Wilson The model is made completely out of paper its a card model. Built pretty much as that of the balsa models presented here on the forum. A little difficult then balsawood kits. With balsawood if you make a mistake it can be repaired with no fuss, but one slip with the No.11 blade your work is ruined. So its laways good to scan the kit before you start for extra parts in case a mistake is made in this kit I didn,t scan the kit.The rivit effect is the printing of the paper. Boats |

| Ahoy Mr. Wilson one place here in the USA where you can purchased them. Try the www.papermodelstore.com or www.papermodlers.com they have free downloads that will get you started if you have a printer friendly you can print them out. My Lancaster came from Poland I have a good friend that gets them for me. paper models were very common many years ago here in the US. But with the event of plastic and balsa they faded away and they still are the main stay in Europe. Boats |
