Paper-replika.com Czech Airlines Airbus A320 11x17 Megabuild

[FlammableTacosHD]

Hey guys! I am taking a break from the AR15 (Which I got a lot done on) and decided to get the Paper-replika.com Czech Airlines Airbus A320 printed off onto #80 LB 11x17 cardstock at Kinko's.

This'll so fun to build!

Matthew,

What scale did you upsize it to?

Thanks,
Gary

I would suggest cutting the center fuselage section in smaller, more manageable pieces........... But this should look fantastic hanging from the ceiling!

Oh.......... and you may want to try and add some inside support for the wings.

I currently do not know what scale it got resized to, just that it was printed onto larger cardstock.

Here are more updates from the last few days!

This is the aft section of the aircraft, I used a skewer stick for support for the vertical stabilizer. Even with the thick cardstock the pieces are still bendable, with some effort though.

Assembly of one Rolls Royce IAE V25OO engine (I think that is the correct name), everything went together just fine, (thank gosh)

The engine is now attached to the pylon and on the wing! ...I think I may have attached the engine to the pylon upside now

Rolling the fuselage, I took your advice into consideration John but my brain was not with me at the moment and when I remembered it I had already glued it into position.

I also inserted another skewer into the "wing to body fairing", it should help support those wings

Finishing the front sections of the fuselage!

Attachment 178982

Attaching the portside wing and horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage...



And just like that the aircraft is finished! This was a fun model to build and maybe I get one of those 757's or maybe even the new air France A318 printed off?

Wow! That was fast! Most of the pics didn't come through, but what did look great!

If you can get them to tell you what percentage they printed the 11x17 pages at we can work out the new scale.

Still very impressive.

Thank you! I emailed the Admin to see what's up with the photos, hopefully they'll be restored back to normal.

The one photo I can see looks great. That was a pretty fast build.
