| 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? |
| cdwheatley | 28-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. |

| CD, I'm sorry, please excuse my ignorance. But, what is a 160 gsm card? |
| cdwheatley | 29-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. |
