[Paper Fan II]

(something I have, for the first time not done in my latest build because somebody told me not compare paper models with plastic or wood models).

Huh? really, who cares? The models are the builders models first. I never considered myself to be anywhere as good as some of the modelers here but I am solid and I use whatever means I can to try to make my kits as best I can. If that means filling, sanding, painting, making masts from styrene rod, brass rails etc, so be it.

The purest ideals are foolish in my humble opinion.

I built this kei years ago and didn't needs to fill, sand or paint the lower hull and it worked out great but if I were to build it again I definitely would add sub structure, plate, fill, sand and paint her.

This was the first time (and last) I have ever made a full bottom skin to fit on the structure.
This is also the fist time I have filled in the hull frames with balsa (I do like this and will probably do that again).
I don't mind trying different methods to find something that appeals to me.
Found a little of each on this occasion.
