Thanks guys.
Not having the ability to reprint any parts is making me very cautious in the way I am attacking this but also not having made a paper model before is making me think a lot more.....and it hurts...lol.

I've dispensed with the outer paper sheet on the rear struts( I could have done this for them all if I knew then what I know now) as I am going to have to paint them anyway so with these being omitted should make painting the sticks easier.
This is going to be completed today as I have managed to get the wing on and it's true, so I have a little painting and touching up to do, some rigging to add if the parts can take it and then some photos of the completed model hopefully.

More later
Regards
Mark

Well all the painting and rigging has finished and thus this GB for me has ended.
I certainly have learned a few new things about this paper building malarkey and when I build another from my supply I will certainly implement them.
For my first ever paper build though I am very happy with the results and enjoyed the process immensely.

Here is the result.
