Cessna T-37C Asas de Portugal, Stahlhart Papercraft, 1:48

[Josef]

Dear cardboard model making friends,

a little trip into the realm of "Stahlhart Papercraft" to a quite interesting model.
The first steps with the fuselage are done, the comparison with a flying tadpole is allowed.

The fuselage tabs I made extra like the GELI's and glued them inside, I also added additional frames.

good start my friend.

but where is the cockpit?



best regards

YOAV

Hello, my friend Yoav.
Is only installed later, should work.
Will cut open the fuselage with a very sharp blade and insert the cockpit.
The landing gear bay of the nose wheel is also already glued in.

I continue with the wings, the wheel housings are already glued in.

This is a very nice model, I did test build for Stahlhart Papercraft, here are some photos that Christoph did not use in the gallery (there were many of them). you may ask me freely about how i did or solved any issue during building, i will be glad to help.

I will follow this thread very carefully, as it will be an excellent reference or tutorial about the assembly process for the Cessna A-37 with Ecuadorian livery that I want to assemble at some point.

[Josef]

With the turbine fairing, the lower half can be glued first.

@lorenzomartinez07: Thanks for your help but so far I have no problems building the T-37.

And this is my T-37 which I did, and I hope it's not the last one because there are a lot of paintings, the next one will be A-37 but not wiewm which painting to choose, maybe Peru

Nice looking model being created here and good to see it printed on appropriate paper- it really makes a difference to the final product.
