The scale is CAFE´s favourite scale: 1/200, and choosing a so light and thin paper wasn´t a good idea. I reinforced wings with 3 strips of cereal box cardboard and fuselage with a napkin. Regards. Tony.

The old trick on the paper napkin. It always works! It looks great up here.

Muy bien Tony:
I like to use glossy paper (a little bit more expensive) but more rigid and resistant to the resistol (Mexican white glue) wrapping.
Looking forward to your final model, which could be a nice companion to your recolored Neptune.

Hi all!! Now that I feel better and my health improves I continue with this building. Ballasted the nose with 3/16 nut, assembled the landing gear but noticed that due to very thin paper it don´t support and it bends. Next is to reinforce the landing gear and glue the wings supports.Regards,Tony.

Nice Tony.
Looking forward for your final model, you may have a family picture with the 330 and the 360!

Made the reinforcement for the landing gear but the wing supports are shorts. I fixed it on the PDF and conclude the building. I didn´t like work in so thiny paper, so I will make a new one with thicker paper 90 gr/m opalina paper which works great in the Shorts 360 and Sherpa, and going to make a Vector version as well, as I aforementioned wire&paper models are made in Raster and it pixels when upscaled.Regards.Tony.

Hi Tony:
Very nice. You can keep this one.
The landing gear is not flush with the fuselage.
It overhangs!
Saludos.

And the wing supports from the edge of the landing gear.

Fix the landing gear, looks better. Definitibily I´ll going to make a better version with thicker paper. Otherwise going to build more Malvinas/Falkland planes, Bruno has at least 5 Argentinian planes and 5 English planes. And I´m wondering if continue in this thread or open another. Regards,Tony.
