    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    That tracing was unfortunately the inside of the pattern. I wished I had traced both sides. Looking at your attachment now.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Working on pre shrunk fabric patterns today. I brushed thinned Poly Tak on the practice pieces to prevent unraveling. Even 6 clamps aren't really enough for the shrinkage, this fabric shrinks a lot.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build
