Looking for a Lockheed!!!

Hello everyone...
Was just infromed by my 14 year old son that he needs a model of a plane flown by Amelia Earhart to include with a presentation board for a school assignment - he was kind enough to give me a week's advance notice .
Does anyone know of a Lockheed Vega or Electra 10E (or anything even close...) available as a paper model?
Thanks for any and all help!!

Papermodelstore.com has a modelik L-14H super electra. You are cutting it almost impossibly thin to get the kit and have it built within a week, but I know Kris will do everything he can to expedite delivery if you decide to go that way.

Ken,
Since you have to have the model within a week's time I would say there is no way to build it - unless of course you can devote 24/7 to the job...
Maybe you can take a shortcut and do a very basic model? Flat fuselage and wings/tail plus basic undercarriage?
If you can find some color profiles that would make it easier...

I think you speaking about this build :

earhartvega

But sadly isn't a downloadable paper model or something like that.

Ken

Maybe with so few time one option is to modify this one to be a more "complete" model:

Lockheed Vega *** Flying Paper Cardstock Glider

Regards
Luis

Thanks...

Thanks for the info...
I'll order the kit from the Paper Model Store (as well as a few others to justify the postage ). May have to default to adhereing a few pictures on foam core board, cutting them out and mounting them off the surface of the display board for a depth of scale effect.
These types of things stop when the kids go off to college...right?

LOL - yes, all they want then is "paper" in large quantities and denominations!
