These are beautiful nice clean builds. You have done very well.

Thanks guys for your positive remarks. The toughest thing I've found thus far is creating the canopy. I didn't want to get into the vacuum forming so I simply used a heat gun to soften plastic over a plaster mold of the canopy. It took about 4 tries before I got a result I was satisfied with when I was working on the Rafale model. It ain't perfect but it gives a result I can live with.
Next up will be a 1/200 scale of an Airbus A330 which I just started this evening. Looking at the instructions it appears to be a much less complex build than the Rafale |

Both models are skillfully built, and your progression from the relatively simple Concorde to the complex Rafale in one step is amazing. I wonder how much a plastic 1/33 Rafale kit would have set you back? Looking forward to your future builds. Well done!

You are close, Joe. It's good to have another paper enthusiast living nearby. Perhaps we'll get to meet face to face sometime.

So I'm finally getting around to posting photos of my 3rd project, a 1/120 scale model of an Airbus A330-200, a Canon paper model repainted by Edmar Pinheiro. To enable a smooth look to the fuselage, I cut out the integrated connecting tabs and replaced them with separate connecting tabs I created for just about every part. It's making the project take a lot longer but it definitely gives a better result. Although this model has pretty good detail, I plan on adding elements to give it a more realistic look. The real fun part will involve the landing gear and engine/pylons, each of those are projects on their own.

To add strength to the horizontal stabilizer and wings, I fed .032" safety wire through their respective spars. I decided to use aircraft lockwire from my work tool box

Another fine model in the making JoeMon. Your approach of using separate join tabs instead of overlaps is paying off- that fuselage looks real good.

Amazing work on the Concorde. Even after 2 years of building airliners, that Concorde was a handful, but yours turned out extremely well for your first time!
