The whole panel line process is done with guides and patterns but sosme areas are particularly difficult. The tape itself becomes the guide. This is another type pen which can be used. Questions?

Lines on planes are mostly rectangles based on an X and Y axis. Use an already established line to true the line on the fuselage.. REMEMBER the procedure is to draw the line first with pencil and remove the guide. THen tape the guide back in place and ink. Yes, you can ink using only the guide...if you know what you're doing but it's better to draw the lines with pencil first. Less chance of screwing them up.

If you make a mistake a wet Q tip will sometimes remove the ink as it is NOT waterproof. Sometimes it will not so if that happens the only thing to do is paint over it. The ink also smudges easily so I suggest using latex gloves.

You can see how one line leads to another as more reference points show up. I used a .020" styrene guide for this part.

THe tape on the left has the measurement marked. . Use the guide cut from the styrene and center it on the line.

Use tape to determine distance.

Reference for the fuselage is the center line.

Once some references are in place the rest can be determined. The F-105 has far more stuff on the wings than most so patterns are used and then guides.
