Never did I hear of such models until the last 7yrs or so with the exception of structures for railroading and dioramas. Great stuff.

Thanks all you fellas I am honored to have a host of good friends around the globe small world no error,, Ok here is the build report for today I joined the rear and forward fuselage units togethyer let dry then i done some burnishing to smooth out the seams as the fuselage structure dries to cure i went ahead and construct the two stabilizers to its assembly is nothing more then a frame with two ribs.. With the framed spar assembly and the connector tabs in place makes a very strong structure. the stabilizer root fairing fillets wewre added to complete the stabilizer assembly.. tommorow i will give the ship a final burnishing do work in the seams and seal them for the finished coats of krylon clear.. Tomorrow i will have the intire fuselage assembly completed and make preperations for the massive wings. But before I turn too on the wings I will do some weathering on the fuselage to enhance the build one thing for certain i am no paper purist I build it the way I like it no complaints so far LOLlllllllllllllllllllll Terry your right these designers who design card kits are pretty well up to snuff with the knowledge of shapes, scale and a lot of research, Here in America there not very many card model designers only a frew , reason being is that the event of plastic and balswood cardmodeling has lost its popularity that once in America it too was popular.

That is amazing Boats.
You're a real A&P sheet metal man!

Just thinking...... really thin aluminum, from the paper patterns????? You know pure aluminum like is used in aircraft is a lot more malleable than the alloy stuff from the hardware. I'm thinking too much, my brain hurts like my ear right now.

Great work mate!

Just finished up on ther fuselage next is the wings I will start on them tomorrow, on the following build report update i have done a little weathering dont want to over do it just enought to show a little wear and tear.. On the following pictures shows the assembly of the tail wheel and the cargo doors they are opperable I placed thread inside the door hings so they can open and close swithout fuse the thought of useing soft wire will be to stro9ng for paper thread works better I went to a toy store toys R us boght a huge bag of solders they look like they might fit inside the plane never tried it yet but i will give it a go and see what happens. Here is the update build report for today.
