Wow! One the first paper models I ever did was to help younger son with a school project three or four years ago. For Black History Month, he was assigned to work on a biography of Col Benjamin O Davis, the CO of the unit. It was the Tuskeegee Airmen P51 "Creamer's Dream" from Fiddler's Green - their North American P51 collection that I built. I was blown away with how well it went together and how good the results were. My son had a blast doing "Duchess Arlene" and his report was very well received, delivered as it was while wearing some of my Dad's old WW2 uniform.

I have since often found that schools are very receptive to paper models, especially history, science and sociology classes.
