Thanks. I am actually really amazed at how well it came out. Even when the darker areas are colored, the light picks it up really.
Here's where I am right now.
I decided to make new landing gear and not use the stock fold-n-glue ones. I used some of the stock parts though like the wheels which are just skins on built-up card disks. Struts are dum-dum sticks with paper strips added. Same idea for the tail wheel.
Hope to start on the nose pieces later if time permits.
