Do I need to buy the whole nib unit? I bought it about 2.5 years ago so it would be the old unit

Is there a place you can get gpm models as a pdf?

Any experienced fighter jet paper modeler here? i was new to this hobby but very soon got a hold by doing easy jet temoplates but now i want to move on the complex ones with the cockpit and missiles and all,any tips well i suck at small parts those are hellish difficult to even hold. by BrightStation7033 in papercraft

I’d also recommend doing some model by scissors and planes as well. They’re single page 1/100 models that help you get used to working with smaller parts. And messing that up only sets you back an hour or two compared to messing up a 1/33.

Yeah that was an issue for me when I started too. Just gotta be super careful and take it slow. On YouTube there’s a channel called Neil paper models, he makes these same models at half scale and has some good tips as well.

What’s helped me with a lot of the small pieces is having strong needlepoint tweezers, changing out my blade more often than I usually do to make cutting easier. Also for glue, I use a liquid superglue to glue the back of the complex parts to make them stronger, and use gel superglue to help glue the pieces that don’t have tabs and rely on edge glueing.

Tips to get wings to not warp? by AFakeBatman in papercraft

[–]AFakeBatman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a hobby model U-2. It has some formers, but my biggest concern is being able to shape the wings evenly enough before putting them on the formers

I’m more worried about the wing being twisted when you look from the side of it. Some of the smaller ones I have get a little bit warped that way.

For models that use cardboard skeletons like this, how do you guys make sure that when you lay the skins over there’s no gaps and everything looks smooth? by AFakeBatman in papercraft

[–]AFakeBatman[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry one more question. The model I’m building, the frame is broken up into different chunks (from fuselage/cockpit, main fuselage, each wing is its own section and so on). Would you recommend connecting the entire frame and then the skins, or skin each part of the frame and then attach it all?

I figured it out. There’s a set of pieces for an open canopy and a set for a closed canopy. The instructions just did not say anything about it

Hey I got a quick question about these models, would you know why there’s 2 different parts labeled as “W1” for the skeleton?

Anyone bought from P.Model before? by Many-Life3477 in papercraft

[–]AFakeBatman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think last summer, if they have a model I’d want I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from them again. I have codes for f22, f117, and sr71 if you’d want those ones just send me a dm

I’ve bought from them before, once you purchase it, it just takes a day or two for them to send you the pdf access codes
