Here, it's the world's first AMX jet fighter made out of Coke soda can at a scale of 1/200!
May I therefore brag about it.................
The model is not quite done yet. I'll be putting in landing gears later.

You may brag all you want, it is IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!

Thanks guys for stopping by.

Here's the finished AMX with landing gears etc. and a group photo of soda can and paper AMX at 1/200.

No.33 is Murph's Zero, originally at 1/29, now re-scaled to 1/33.
This project first started in 2017 and has been lying idle until now.
Determined to get it done and not side-tracked by many many other projects.
Spinning props is the usual and the canopy frame did cost me some time to make.

Your projects, whether in paper or in aluminum, always amaze me. Just lovely.

Absolutely gorgeous. How many of the soda/beer can planes have you done now?

[papermate]

Thanks, Vermin King, for visiting. I have made 33 can planes by now.

No.34 coming up, is Bruno's Harrier, originally at 1/100 (paid models) re-scaled to 1/200.
Is it hard to make at this scale? Yep, held my breath from time to time for 10 sec or more each time to tackle the tiny parts, and pretty tedious, too, I would say. But finally overcome it, pure insanity and vanity!!

And a group photo with its paper mates!!!

Jeeminy! You really put it in perspective with the ruler. Or did you get the ruler from the same source as Dave's penny? Just kidding.


Outstanding work, as always
