This is my first build thread on the GeeBee R1 by Rafal Ciesielski. I would not say this is the easiest model to build but is a nice challenge. Pictures are up in the gallery as well as a build diary here. A big thanks to SwampFox who told me how to get the images into a thread from the gallery.
OK. I have given a comparison of the two types of paper I use. The first image, which I ended up using, was printed on HP 52lb paper. The second was taken of the same model but printed on Wausau 110lb paper. You can see a huge difference. So for this model, due to the bright reds, I chose to go with the HP 52lb paper

Wausau 110lb Paper:
After cutting out parts 1 and 2 I joined them incorrectly. All the join pieces should go on the inside. I was not sure about this so built it again and I show this image later on.
This is how the parts should not look..OOPS!
This is my modeling buddie. He helps me on most of my builds, when he's not sleeping.
