I note that the assembly of this model should be from the middle of the fuselage to its extremities. This is the author’s idea. And you shouldn’t violate this order.

With the coming of laser engravers on the market, an interesting technology for creating veneer models arose. In general, a laser is a good thing, but when all the details of a model are cut out with its help, the question arises: who to reward, the modelist or the machine? I became interested in laser […]
