Thank you all!

@Falco, I used separate tabs, as this kit had no joiner strips.

As an aside, I found that using regular printer paper (as I had done in the past)
was simply insufficient, even at this small scale.

My usual 65lb card stock, was to thick.

So neither gave a satisfactory result. I did a little research and good
old fashioned leg work, took some samples with me to Office Depot,
and starting checking paper weights in person. After explaining what
I do, they kindly offered me a couple of different sheets to experiment
with.

I found, that a 32lb presentation paper is almost, but not quite, what
I am needing. So I purchased a bunch, and will be trying that on the
next few builds to see if it will help with some joining issues.

Yep, a few years ago I found some 32 lb/120 gsm HP Presentation paper on sale and bought a couple of 100 sheet packages of it. It works pretty good on stuff like lifesize small bird models.

Texman I Have had good luck on 1/200 planes using 2 pcs of 20lbs printer paper laminated together for joining strips. Jeff Bail

I also have bought some 32 lb paper, for the 1:100 vehicle kits, they build up quite nicely
