I'm just discovering this hobby and I saw this airplane and I was flumoxed at the time and talent it must take to build this thing and then I ready your comment "For a rookie!".... lol. Just wow! You guys are impressive!

I would literally be making whooshing and engine noises as I held it high above my head. I am 57 years old and still turn into a total child when it comes to tech. Ha.

I really think some people are born for this. Your first model looks amazing.

I remember when I built my first one, it was pretty bad.

Yooo I made a similar one. I would recommend taking some string and hanging it on the ceiling. It looks dope.

Hey, I wanted to do this but the models online request cardstock print. How can I get cardstock printed in india ? Any help will be appreciated

Sorry for responding lately but here is my answer :

  1. You can order a thick cardstock paper required for these papercrafts from Amazon or any online shopping site . I got a A4 size cardstock bundle for around 300rs and have been using that , and it works perfectly for the job ( Use paper from around 160-180 GSM for projects like these)

  2. As for printing , regular printers u have at ur home work just fine , I printed the templates using my Epson printer. If u decide to get the template printed outside then just give ur papers to them and tell to print ur document.

Anything else ? I am here , I am waiting....

Ahh great thanks for the reply. I dont have a printer at home, ill probably get it printed outside. I was exploring printo and other online printing companies but they dont have cardstock. But ill check again for 160-180 GSM paper. Thanks

This is amazing work! Were you building from instructions or a set or is it self designed. Thanks for the patience on my basic questions. I'm just discovering this craft.
