Yeah, not much point in showing you massive photos of a modern jet (no props)
built from an advanced kit by an advanced paper modeler.
lol
With wheels that are hard to see...made from laminating, sanding, puttying and painting.
That doesn't help a beginner much.
You have a good point Philo
...paper wheels (and propellors) often don't look perfect.
They can require special experience to be made to look less like paper.
Don't be put off by this...its just another area that you can work on improving.
I like to use only what is in the paper kit...and its a challenge to make certain details look better.
For the average and beginner builder, there are many kits designed for the less experienced,
with wheels and props designed to be simpler to build.
And sometimes, they can still look pretty good.
Especially if the designer puts some effort into realistic textures and artwork.
CAD designed kits are wonderfully precise...but can be lifeless without a good paintjob.
I think this is a better example of prop and wheels done in paper.
Considering its only a beginner/intermediate skill level kit.
