US NAVY Aircrafts 1:200 n°5 N.A. Buckeye from Kancho

Here it is the beginning of a collection of 1/200 paper aircraft models of the US NAVY , I am making for a contest on the french modeller forum Fighters (mainly a plastic forum).
The first model is a DHC-1 Beaver U-6A US NAVY test pilot school (DGA model)

Setting up the final details: propeller, antennas, then I have painted satin varnish for the structure and gloss varnish for the glazing. Note that this is my sixteenth Beaver in paper to 1 / 200 and not the last, I hope.
I love this plane!

Small problem on the tail , I have to corrected :
NATC on the tail is slanted and it's suppossed to level with the fuselage.

Thanks to Doug and Chris from Ecardmodels, they have sent me the corrected part.

So here is the plane with the new tail:

The Fury is now finished with a modified lenghtened nose gear as seen during the test on Coral Sea aircraft carrier:

Weight in the nose to avoid tailsitting.

The top part comes after cutting straddle the lower part to restore the complex shape of the fuselage as you can see in this picture.

The nose is designed by the same system, two assemblies which will overlap after cutting one.

It's a very nice paper model but a bit too complex to be mounted at 1 / 200 but hey, I wanted a buckeye, I found this is a funny plane
