Try square, rule and circle template - a Hauler marking aid

An accurate photo-etched stainless aid for modelers that combines a square, a rule (scale) and a circle template with holes of various diameters in one thin part. It serves for measuring out, marking perpendiculars and right angles and for tracing circles - everything useful in accurate building, scribing lines and reworking parts. It is neither a kit nor a model; it is a modeling tool. The advantage of a thin photo-etched sheet is that it sits exactly on the surface of a part and does not raise the tool up the way a thicker rule does.

Use and tips

• Use the square for checking and marking right angles and perpendiculars to the edge of a part.
• The rule serves for measuring and as a guide for a knife or a scriber when scribing lines.
• The circle template helps to trace or mark out holes and circular shapes - hatches, vision ports or wheels, for instance.
• When marking out, hold the aid firmly and guide the scriber along the edge with several light strokes.
• The thin stainless sheet lays easily on a surface; protect it from bending so that it stays straight and accurate.

Who it is for

For modelers who want to measure and mark out accurately - from building accessories and scratch-building to scribing panel lines and reworking parts, where squareness and dimensions matter. Anyone who takes pride in cleanly measured, square details will appreciate it.

This is a tool, not a kit. The edges of the sheet can be sharp, so handle it carefully.
