Hi!
As a little distraction from all the woodwork an my Victory models i built a cardboard model of a Phantom II - in a special livery of the 40year-anniversary of the Jagdgeschwader 74 of German Luftwaffe.
Aside from the canopy, where i tried out an aftermarket plastic product which didn`t fit at all, i`m quite satisfied with the result - regarding some major fitting issues.DaDokta attached the following image(s): Greetings,

Hi Walter, Considering that`s a card build I think it looks really good.  Well done. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

I am very surprised on how good that looks given what it is made of. Excellent work.  Mark

Hi Walter,
It actually seems strange to see you working on something other than HMS Victory.
However, your usual skills are prevailing and you've done a brilliant job.
Well done sir,
Chris

It never ceases to amaze me how detailed these paper kits have become. A stunning build and one for the display shelf, well done.

Thanks guys!
Actually the GELI-models are quite basic cardboard models without a length of detail compared to e.g. the models by Kartonowny Arsenal or others.
In my stash i have a cardboard version of the Tornado with 5 times as many parts as this one (and very undetailed instructions in polish!) - which till now i did not have the courage to tackle.Greetings,
Walter

Looks as if it was great fun. A really nice result. I'm well aware of how fiddly card models can be, but great fun. I built this 1/18 scale Aston DBR9 a few years ago. roymattblack attached the following image(s):

Hi Walter, A really nice model there. The detail is superb for a cardboard model. Well done. Stuart.

Thanks guys!
@roymattblack
At first glance you never would assume this to be a cardboard-model! Very nice result!Greetings,
Walter
