Printing Instructions

All the kits are designed for printing on European A4 (210x297 mm) format. The Legal (8.5”x14”) format can be used instead. The card parts should be printed on 160 g/m2 card sheets. In some of the kits backside printing of some of the pages is needed, so that the highly visible interior not to be in white color. It is optional. The paper parts should be printed on 80 g/m2 paper sheets. Some of the paper sheets that contain the reinforcing elements should be glued on 450 g/m2 heavy card. The assembly instructions and covers can be printed on any paper. There is also an option for printing transparent parts of the canopy, gun sights, landing lights and internal armored plates on transparent foil. USE ONLY AN APPROPRIATE THERMOPROOF FOIL for their printing on laser / LED printers, referring to the printer’s guide for choosing the correct media. USING AN INAPPROPRIATE MEDIA CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR LASER PRINTER! The same holds true for the metal-coated parts that are also optional for some of the kits. These parts should be printed on a special coated metal covered paper on inkjet printer. They are intended to substitute the original kits’ parts that are painted in metallic gray color in the basic kits pages. DO NOT TRY to print them on metal-coated paper by laser printer! Metal-coated parts are only optional. The HQ color laser printing is the most appropriate for printing the kits. It gives very pleasant semi-gloss finish and brilliant colors. Of course the kits can be printed on inkjets, but probably the better solution is to contact the nearest print shop or cop center if you have not access to such devices. Don’t forget to switch OFF any color correction in the printing settings for correct color matching.
