My first card model - a Kampfflieger Macchi M.5

[wireandpaper]

Looking forward for your next model.
For trimming the extra paper/card I use a cuticle cuter that you may get in Daiso for $1.50 or in a drug store from $6 and on.

Very nice job on your build!! In the download section there are a couple tutorials for making ribbed wings that may interest you. Again very nice build!

Keeep going! Very nice sexy little plane. Macchi designs always interested me!

You’re off to a great start, and we look forward to seeing your next project.

Thanks again, folks! I appreciate the encouragement. I leave for nearly a month next Wednesday, and as the next two paper models I hope to put together will involve some serious rigging work, I probably won't finish either prior to departure. It'll be something to look forward to upon my return!

Wowzers...I say well done! So now, what's next? You can't build just one!

Hey Dan! Since you asked...

Currently I'm building a heavily modified version of the Fiddler's Green Morane Saulnier Type N "Bullet," with a refashioned nose, re-skinned tail section, and toothpick landing gear and rigging struts.

I have more than half a dozen other WWI era kits downloaded, including the Fiddler's Green Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 and Fokker D.VII, as well as all of the skins from F. Prudenziati's website, for planes such as the Sopwith Camel, Nieuport 17 and 24, Albatros D.III and D.V, etc... I plan to build an example of his Fokker E.III Eindecker next. I'll also go back to do the Italian version of the Macchi M.5 at some point, and have a wonderfully complicated looking model of the Grigorovich M-9 flying boat. If these models are not already in 1/72 scale I am doing my best to adjust the plans to that scale before printing.

After I return from my trip, I'd like to start digging through this pile, and also to begin building one of Prudenziati's 1/200 scale Italian warships! Cheers!
