Hi All,
Currently taking a break from the Z-37 and working on a kit I got off Ebay the Maly Ark Royal. I knew this was going to be a total rework when the "kit" arrived in the mail. Printed @1990 the paper was more burlap and raw wood pulp than anything else. The colors were suspect, and a lot of fading took place. The first thing I did was scan the pages to be re-edited. As I was trying to follow some of the threads advice on this site it became overly tedious and frustrating. Then I had a thought that seemed simpler to me; I traced the parts on onion skin paper, which left a line drawing of the parts in black and white. Then it was simply a matter of cleaning up and painting the parts. I started test assembling the hull today, A new level of frustration and more work....
