We call those box scale, because manufacturers would make the model to fit a particular box size. Nice Hurricane .

Common when plastic kits first became popular,many of the American manufacturers would literally make the model to fit a standard sized box that was used for the entire line of models.

What kind of wood are you using? What tools do you use to carve your models?

Lou

[Biggles]

Lou, the wood is 300 year old cedar(they are old floorboards), and the tools are:
.vice
.files
.chisel
.excel model knife
.sandpaper
.scroll saw
.fret saw
.hacksaw
these are most of the tools I use.
