I’m slowly getting this model done. I’m not sure if the designer was an evil genius, or just evil. Lots of places where 6 or 7 parts could have been combined into one part to make a stronger model with fewer seams. One of the joys of paper modeling is seeing how different designers figure out how to model a subject. This model was designed by an artist, not a structural engineer. Still, it’s fun to see some creative solutions offered up by different cultures. That being said, tonight I’m working on the wings. I have a small twist in the right wing that I hope to massage out before finishing. The wings are attached to the fuselage with a simple butt joint. I would have liked to put in a spar through the fuselage but I’m trying to stay true to the design.
