Yes, it qualifies! Tissue paper or silk span is just a form of paper.
I've tried to do it in the past, big balsa / tissue builder many years ago.
Getting the tissue tight is the problem. Humidity day to day gave it a different look, sagging wings, wrinkles. Can't spray with water to tighten....Doping warps everything.
Only tried it a couple of times, you might have some different ideas on how to accomplish, just letting you know what I ran into.
Good Luck!
Hoping to see a final project.
