Just finished this 1/100 scale paper kit by JF Schreiber of Dornier DoX 1930s era flying boat: quite a beast with those twelve engines!

I don't do that many plastic aircraft kits anymore, because I'm not very good at them! But I do enjoy building these paper kits.

How can your skills with plastic be less when you can do this with paper? Great looking aircraft! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Don't give up. You'll get better as you build more. To quote the late David Caradine's Kung Fu character Kwai Chang Caine, "Patience grass hopper" . ;) rr
