T Type Marking Ruler

U-STAR, a T-shaped marking ruler

A metal T-shaped ruler for accurate measuring out and marking of parallel lines on plastic models. The crosspiece holds the ruler perpendicular to the edge of the part, so the lines run accurately and in parallel. It is used as a guide for a scribing tip and for measuring out.

Use

• drawing and scribing parallel panel lines
• accurate measuring of distances from the edge of a part
• even spacing of details, for example rivets and hatches
• a guide for a scribing tip or a knife

Who it is for

For modelers who want accurate parallel lines without slow measuring. Lay the crosspiece of the ruler against the edge of the part and run the tip along its edge.

The metal edge is meant to guide the tool; work carefully and draw the tip away from your body.
