Paper kits

Post by Novasquad23 »

I've only come across the existence of paper-based scale models this week. :banana: I was astounded by the quality of these models via YouTube, and went to eBay to track them down. I found some and was quite impressed by the range of kits available, from aircraft, AFV's, cars, ships and railway engines and rolling stock. More to the point I bought one as I'm usually up for trying anything once (let's not bring in those teenage exploits regarding that "philosohpy :oops: ). But getting to the point, is there anyone out there who has experience with these kits and willing to share some pointers?
Cheers

I can tell you that the sprue, mold lines, and ejection pin marks are really none existent...
