This is a really good model airplane. It's hard to find one that is not too complicated, but also not so simple that it doesn't look good.
This model uses only one page for the pieces.
For my practice plane below I didn't use color ink but added some accents with pen. I also used ordinary printer paper, but doubled it. If you were to use card stock it would look a lot better. But I'm posting pictures so you can see how it's made. I needed to try it out so I could make it with some fourth graders. Now that I know which places are a bit tricky it should be fairly smooth going. There are instructions, but it's still helpful to see photos.
We tried it out and it flies really well! The nose has extra weight in it (which is the piece on the bottom right.)
