It was purely by accident coming across Cristoph Stahl's fantastic website about a year ago that got me into paper modelling. My first attempts (La.5 and an Il.2M) in his original 1/60 scale were absolute disasters that now reside in the paper plane boneyard. Now that I've settled on 1/100 as my chosen scale, it's easy enough just to print his designs off at 60%.
I'm sure that any of you who have built his models can attest to the quality, and Stahl's design talent is only exceeded by his generosity in offering his vast number of models for free (I see that he recently expanded both the B-26 Marauder and Gladiator range).
Anyway, I'm gonna start on his Nth Korean version of the Lavochkin La-7. I usually print off at my local library on their laser printer (they only charge 20c per A4), but this one was run off on my own dodgy inkjet. Close inspection shows some alignment issues, and I've found inkjet ink is nowhere near as durable as laser print, but does have a more realistic matt sheen.
Chris includes things like wheel well detail, but seeing that it's gonna be small scale I'll dispense with the fiddly bits and try and simplify.
Does anyone want an ongoing build description or you happy just to see the finished article?
Cheers, Garry G.
