1:400 Papercraft aircraft projects

[TheEpicBirb]

I haven't seen any threads about making paper models yet, and I just started a project of a 1:400 A330-300. The main aircraft i am making is 9H-SMD, I am using a template provided by someone else, and then I am editing it into this livery. For now I will try some black and white versions then will later mke the finished version. In this thread I will show all of my 1:400 papercraft projects and their processes If you have any suggestions or things you wanna see then tell me

This is the current progress. The template is in 1:300 but will be scaled down to 1:400 later. There is a second half of the tail for testing on the livery

I am aware about the issue with the text, and the engines likely also have an issue as I will fix those later. I will print this out tomorrow and will do a test build. This is all for now.

Just printed the aircraft, I am doing some testing in 1:300 scale and will first build the fuselage and wings.
The landing gear will be added later if possible

Update on the nose, the design for the nose section is incredibly scuffed, so I might have to use a completely different template

Finished product (other than engines), not sure if i should continue using this template or if I should use a new one, I will do some more testing and update later.

I think that as first paper model IDs not bad, but paper model it is what it is, I have used for have an ideas about the model in 1/400 and I'll use mine for the dimension of the parking position.
But... it is what it is....
I think that if you want improve, you must continue to try to do it... but you cannot compare with the diecast models

I have been making paper models for a little while now but I do agree that they will not be able to compare with diecasts. I am just trying something new with new templates and designs

did you do the design yourself, impressive

I did not design the template myself, but I did edit a bit of the livery. If I spend long enough I could probably design one
