The laser cut kit, with superior wood arrived W/O plans. I contacted the Man. In an effort to "speed" the process Tom sent plans as pdf files. Unfortunately they are not to scale...I wait the full size plan....Ho Hum!

Maybe you can tell the printer to tile the pages rather than stretch to fit the paper?

Very nice looking wood, I'm trying to notch the formers on the fuse for the P40 and there literally falling apart.

This one's a real challenge, of which there is no doubt you are up to. A lot of wheel well interior details if you so choose. Most would not attempt a wheels down model of this or the F4F because of the L/G struts.

The idea is that when you have a drawing/picture that is larger than your paper you can either scale it down to the size of your paper or break it into "tile" pieces and print the pieces onto several sheets of paper but at full scale. Then just trim off the margins and tape the sheets together. Take a look at this thread and see if any of the methods will work for you. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=455470 I believe Acroread can print tiles, but these suggestions might be easier. You may also find these pictures very interesting. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=143684 There are probably 200 pictures regarding your kit.

I think that is what I did trimmed to fit and pasted the "tile" together....things get lost in the realm of electrons!
