So it is done and after a while of rest, I'll go for the Short Empire. Here are the pics for your enjoyment.

If you're wondering what was used to make the supporting struts, it's tin foil from medicinal package rolled around 0.2mm wire. Please see pics of the tinfoil tubes.

All I can say is a very inadequate WOW!

Now onto the big brother MAIA. Shown here also is the pontoon, half finished until the Short Empire's wing is done for better alignment.

Papermate,

Your collection of small airplanes makes me want to visit Hong Kong,
beyond coming only for the food and shopping.

Thanks Don and Jeff. Jeff, you're more than welcome to visit Hong Kong and just in case you're in town, let me know.

More updates .....The doors are cut-outs and re-glued in place to avoid the split sections of the original template.
