For a 60 year old model, it looks really good! Congrats on your build.

Thank you, Jeff and Carlos. The colour of the bottom hull is original and I didn't change it for reason of originality. I agree that it may look better if it is of the same colour of the fuselage.

Outstanding work on the PBY Paper. It's a beautiful aircraft regardless what country she fly's for or it's size or color. One of my favorites and one I would enjoy building one day but it wll be 1:33 scale. I still to this day don't understand how you can build them so small. I had a hell of a time on my Duck in 1:33 scale. Trying to get paper to bend like that was hard for me. I can't even think of how you did it so small. I would love to have one of your Ducks. It's a fantastic airplane. Thank you for sharing. wc.

Thanks, Waddy. Just do what you'd like to do and if 1/33 is good for you, then go for it. Some would say that building small hide many of imperfections. This is to some extent true. I'm treating all these papermodelling as some sort of handicrafts and handicrafts are small and delicate. They are easy to store away, too.

Storage and sturdiness is why I build small. Just not this small ...

No.64 is F-35C, the naval variant of F-35A, by Ojimak. The wings of the naval variant are larger, according to Wiki and some modifications were made to enlarge the wings a little. (Hope you don't mind, Mr Ojimak!). The smaller one for comparison is the usual F-35 Joint Strike Fighter by Christian Chua REPAPSTUDIOS.blogspot.com shown in the last pic. Hope you like it, especially you, Dimitar.

As we would say out here in San Francisco, you really hit that one out of the baseball park Paper. Clean sweep. wc
