Sometimes it refers to roofing material too. Rows of peel and stick shingles for a real layered looking roof.

Some of the lazer kits have trim and windows in wood, sometimes plywood. These are very small parts. You peel the backing off and stick the parts together. It is easy, but they do not adjust easily so get them right in the first place.
If you think you have it right, your standards are too low. my photos http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a235/ARTHILL/ Art

Peel and stick trim would probably be heavy paper or thin plastic trim pieces such as window and door frames that are self-adhesive, so you peel them off of a backing sheet.

I've built a couple of laser cut kits that were like that.  My concern is how well the items are going to stick over the long term in the dry desert climate.

Hi there

I'm not very familiar with this product and was wondering if someone would be kind enough to explain what they mean by " utilize peel and stick trim for maximum ease of assembly ".

They obviously use wood parts for walls etc but what about windows and doors. Are they plastic/metal along the lines of Campbell and Fine Scale Miniatures ??

 Many thanks for your replies
