NAVY & MILITARY Planes in 1/200

Further to my last post, I present to you in group photos showing some sort of step by step approach to see how the double-sided copperplate paper copes. It looks okay to me and it's fine to work with as long as you have sprayed a protective coat of clear paint (uv spray in my case) to prevent scratches. The underside of the paper works also well with PVA glue. The glued parts stay in place unless you tear it apart for no good reasons at all.

Future build reports may not be in great details and I'm open to your views in this regard.

The latest update : the fuselage is largely done.

I feel if this aircraft can be drawn and built, that Southwestern 738 someone was asking about on another thread should be possible.

[papermate]

Yep, thinking the same. But who is going to design it, perhaps Murph (if he's listening in)?

[papermate]

You meant this or not?

Lookin' good papermate!

Thanks, Bob, for stopping by. The 70 ans livery is surely a European eye-catcher.

Ooh, I've been waiting to see this one since I sent it to you.

And yes, I'm listening in. I'm frantically converting my 1st gen 737-200 model into a Next gen 737-700/800 and looking for the pics of the P-8 Poseidon I took when it came to Luke Day a few hundred years ago.

Yeah, I have done the other two versions, see here https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/575980-post13.html and here https://www.papermodelers.com/forum/582462-post25.html
and then rested, rested and rested before I hope I could finish this one. The time was 2017 and you can see how long ago it was.
I would like to know how many of you have grabbed the models as shown below from Murph's webstore?

And a small update showing the installation of the landing gear sponson on the right side of the fuselage. Phew, what a job to get it done!
