Paper and cardmodel Airplanes look so much nicer with clear canopies and Uncle Bob Martin takes us through the process step by step. In this case we're building the Mig-3 from www.Fiddlersgre.... This is a much higher quality video. Enjoy!

Genius!!!! Just made my stress of trying to figure how to make paper models more realistic go away lol.

Awesome instructions, this works for RC planes as well, without the heat gun, vacuum form, etc. Thanks!!!

You're welcome. Some of our planes at www.Fiddlersgreen.net are aerodynamic enough to fly.

There is also another method that Bob Lutz is working on using a vacuum and heat formed plastic. It is great for the more curved shapes on a clear canopy for a paper model.

I wondered that too,but as I watched when he cut the tabs out on the 1st layer of tape it left gaps.then when he taped the back the cut gaps where now sticky. Smart.

You know, these folks were dealing with here like to build static paper models, but a fair amount has opened their eyes into incorporating micro r/c and stufff into these small paper models and may also apply a small amount of depron foam. I don`t think it`s "all that" but it is modelling, and i like modelling. Both plastic and r/c. I`m even contemplating doing a few of these fiddling paper models. fourmost the Caproni Stipa "flying barrel" as these odd birds are somewhat amusing to me ;-)

When you buy a template from the website does it give you instructions on how to make it?

@chipfyn1 3 жыл бұрын

Yes. Most of the models come with an instruction sheet, which is a basic diagram of how the parts fit together. It helps to have a picture of how the paper model is supposed to look when it's done. A lot of the building models had that printed on the back of the postcard before the internet was around.
