An opponent for DD's MiG-15!

These little jewels are incredible. I still am in awe of how you do it from card stock!

Thank you poppy! This is the first jet model I've ever built. They've never really 'grabbed' me as much as piston engined aircraft (until now, maybe), but if ever I had a favourite then this would probably be it.

Just awesome Chris.

A new parameter on VA. I guess you can make one of these in a day or two. Soon you can have quite a large collection.

This, and my last one, are reasonably simple builds so are fairly quick to put together. The SE5a took a couple of days, and this one was done in a single afternoon/evening - bear in mind, though, that I have had this past week off work! Fiddlers Green also do some BIG bombers which I would imagine take a tad longer to make, week off work or not!

CD what kind of paper or card stock do you use?
cdwheatley28-Mar-08 17:05
I use 160gsm card.

CD...I have visited the site and the looked at the larger planes...the bombers are quite impressive. I think I recall a B-29.
sweetwillie28-Mar-08 19:01
CD, I'm sorry, please excuse my ignorance. But, what is a 160 gsm card?
cdwheatley29-Mar-08 06:39
Sorry SW, gsm or grams per square metre are a measure used to determine the weight, or basically the thickness, of various types of paper or card. I believe in the U.S. it's measured in lbs. John, yes that's right, a B-29! Did you also see the 6 engined Me-323 'Gigant' in the WWII section?!!

160 gsm would be 42 lb for metric challenged countries.
