"the secret is paper"

Verily.

Yep, but there are certainly other kinds of super glue that says that they can glue everything
and anything. You have to try them out at a cost!

I've always been intrigued by soda can models. I've never would have thought of attempting one in 1/72 scale, and with spinning props, no less. Well done! I'd love to try to build one (in a larger scale). Do you use regular weight printer paper between the layers of metal, or card stock? Do you use watery dollar store crazy glue, or something more exotic?

Thanks, Don (RPS). I used card stock for larger parts like wings and fuselage but lesser weight paper for smaller ones like landing gear etc. The super glue I use is that for cobblers here in HK. About USD10 per bottle, possibly 20g, no detailed label and should be from China. Anyway, it works for me. I have tried others like Gorilla Super Glue but it's not too convenient to use as you have to shake it vigorously for a while before using. That one I use runs freely like water and dries pretty fast, too. Have to be very cautious every time I squeeze it out of the bottle to avoid it running to places you don't want and sticks your fingers on the part to glue.

On the U.S. East Coast -- at least in the mid-Atlantic region-- it's "soda." Once you get into the Midwest, it's "pop." I dunno what it's usually called out West.

Unless your in Texas. It's all "coke".

Customer: I'll have a Coke.
Server: Which one?

It's interchangeable out here. "Soda" is the usual usage, but I have heard "Pop", "Cola", and the occasional "Soda Pop". Of course we get a lot of retirees from around the country here.

So, beer can is much more simple, isn't it?
Don't suppose you have another name for it.

Beer can is much simpler. And probably more fun getting the raw materials.

OK now, a little update on the Black Widow Thunderstorm.
The rear end of the fuselage is in place, no problem so far.
