Wow! It's been a while but finally had my login re-set and now I'm back.
The latest re-paint of a Wheaties/Jack Armstrong penny flier is a P-47 in my vBDownloads. Currently I am trying to upload some pics of how I put together the wing with a balsa reinforcement - the original design had stabilizer, rudder and wing as a thicker paper instead of 2 pieces folded onto each other. The tricky part of this design is that you need to glue just around the edges or wrinkling will occur, and that if you don't set the dihedral prior to gluing you get a sagging downward ... pouting wing.
These little flying models were also what piqued my interest in paper modelling, and were a gift from my brother a few years ago - Originals from 1944! and the Fairey Fulmar was one. ;-)
