Paper Planes never done.

You can find a Super Guppy in 1-144 scale here: https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/...downloadid=296

Thanks for the ideas!
ReynoldsSlumber, about the Navaho I have started it two or three times, but the first time I found it was already done, and the second was after the Slam Pluto but I was distracted by the Martin 262c proyect. So who knows!

Cirrus SR20 and 22 would be good, they are a very popular modern light aircraft and I've had a flight in one.
Never seen a Vickers Viscount either.

At the other end, several pioneer aircraft would lend themselves to paper. The Santos-Dumont 14-bis springs to mind but also Bleriot's famous channel crossing plane. Complex for sure with the exposed frame and details but doable.

Thanks sepp10; Pilsworth has made many fine models, and no shade on him, but the Super Guppy one is pretty "low-poly." Maybe the engines would be salvageable to graft on to Murph's plan, still leaving the fuselage to redesign.

Nice progress there, Draco! Gotta love those high-viz test colors.

Thanks!
As I said, somebody else did it, but I have no idea if it's a free model or not because a friend send it to me years ago and don't remember who.
Anyway it doesn´t have the realistic feeling that I love to include in my models, so it's very possible that this year 2024 I'll be releasing the Navaho.
BTW, who else has another opinion about me releasing the Mosquito?

[Siwi]

I think a good 72nd and 48th scale Mosquito would go down very well, and there are plenty of variants not available in paper currently.
Did you know the real plane was built by moulding a sandwich of wood and a glue made from milk inside a concrete mould, and was cured using essentially the world's first microwave oven?

Not to call you or anyone out , but did anyone ever get an SM-64 missile plan together? With the booster? By the by, someone scratchbuilt a gorgeous model rocket version (which unfortunately crashed). I posted over on the Design Requests forum that one and some more, so here's that list plus a few extra suggestions to toss out there:

• Aero Spacelines 377-SGT Super Guppy in ~1/288 (perhaps a mod of Murph's Pregnant Guppy)
• Beriev VVA-14 in ~1/110
• Boeing XB-15 in ~1/175 (the wings from which were repurposed for the 314 Clipper, so the plan could be a mod of Yankee Kilo's Clipper)
• North American SM-64 in ~1/72
• Northrop YF-23 Black Widow II in ~1/72, fully contoured
• Rockwell B-1B Lancer in ~1/175
• Rockwell XFV-12A in ~1/72
• Rutan Voyager in ~1/96
• Sikorsky MH-53E Pave Low and CH-53E Super Stallion in ~1/144

I'd love to take a crack at a couple of these designs myself someday, but other than a simple recolor, I haven't dug into doing so yet.

I've got plans to design most of the models on this list.

I do have a YF-23 model available and a Rutan Voyager model that I need to release.

I also could have sworn I was working on a Beriev VVA model, but searching my models folder is coming up blank.

Glad to see your work on the B-32. It looks great!

Murph, excited to see whatever you put out!

Draco, I found your old SM-64 thread. Thanks to lfuente for surfacing the B. Radelow plans from 2001. So far as I can tell, they look like they were legitimately put out for free.
