    Futuristic Cafe Racer Foamboard

    Well, I started my first scratch build with no plans. I got inspired by @leaded50 with his Bell-Ross Xr1, and just winged it (no pun intended🤣) and this is what I have so far.

    Using Plans

    Hey everyone, I'm new to scratch building and I don't really know how to use plans. I've decided on GrizWiz's Mighty Mini bf-109, I've got my hardware and will soon have my foamboard, but I'm not sure how exactly to print the plans or how to use them. Any help much appreciated!

So...
