Hello All,

Well the recent activity with the Phonix really made my WWI paper modeling juices start to ferment. I'm currently working on a paper Me-410 but I'm really missing the WWI machines so this is my next one! I even sprung for the pre-cut laser parts. Very little rigging on this and nice detail so it should be a looker when done. It'll be company from my Lohner and DMpopa's Phonix!

Starting this one soon so stay tuned...Dan

Why are paper models 1/33?

NinetythirdLiberator · « **Reply #2 on:** July 04, 2024, 02:01:52 AM »

I think it's a metric thing and since these were started in places that use this system, it made the most sense. They are so close to 32nd that I routinely use 32nd figures, canopies and decals. Works out great!

Ha, ha! I'm only doing this one since it's got laser parts and it should go pretty fast as I build it along with that WWII infiltrator!
Thanks, Gene...Dan

Isn't that cheating.....?

I am looking forward to watching the build.

Why yes...yest it is...

It's still a paper product and it's a guilty pleasure! The ol' Me-410 is kicking my posterior so this will be a nice break.

Thanks, Rick!

Here is a VERY modest start...but it's a start all the same. A bit of confusion on the instructions and the forward formers are more complicated than necessary but I think we are on track.

Stay tuned...Dan

This is going to be really good. I love this plane.
Alan.

Thanks, Alan. I like it too and I'm not sure I've ever seen a model of it at least a main-stream one! We'll see how this guy turns out.
Thanks for your support...Dan

Now that I looked...there sure are some models of this plane. Planet Model and some others. Plus a real one to look at too! I should check before opening my big yap.

Looks like an excellent start to Me!

Thank you, Rick! Slow going, but starting to get all the little things into the side walls. Lots more to go!
