Great job on the models. I especially like the canopy on the Mustang. Great curvature on the "glass"

Some really great models, Tomek. I haven't tried to build that loco because I only build aircraft!!!:wink: :mrgreen:

For those of you who may not know, Squadron makes a large line of vacuformed canopies, resin cast wheels, etc for a large number of aircraft. The only problem for paper models is that they are in standard "plastic" scales --- 1/32, 1/48, 1/72, etc.

If you aren't too much of a fanatic about using only paper, they really dress up a model.

And if you will do some digging, in both this forum and cardmodels.net, you will find info on vacuforming your own canopies, in what ever scale you make the master in. You can also duplicate your on small parts by making a silicone mold and casting them in resin (see MicroMark catalog).

These paper models (I have on mind the planes) are in 1:33 scale. The vacuformed canopies are in 1:33 scale too. Maybe in USA the paper models are the same scale which plastic models: 1/32, 1/48, 1/72. In Poland for paper planes we use only 1/33.

Sorry for my english :D
