Use a rounded edge piecdce of stock to round out the petals, from the inside. As far as the seams, since it looks like your going to paint it, you could coat the nose in Crazy Glue, let it harden, then sand it smooth. ;)

Personally, I think a combination of petals, and conical shapes gives the best results. Conical shapes round out easier.

I think a lined one would be nice for those who may wish to build and paint the model. This would allow the use of fillers, and colors to give a different look than that the printing colored models have. IMHO ;)

Started to work on the interior. I used two of UHU's Tie Interceptor. I need to make some modifications on them. I will do this on a later time. So this is the top view.

I need make some litle adjustments but you get the idea. Now I can work on attaching the wings on the fyselage. And yes the wings will be moving (I hope...... :yesyes: ),

The way that is folded is causing the wings to stall at a very timed pressure increase interval. If the center were taped to form a spline, and the wings were hinged, and paper added as strips to form springs, this paper plane would really flap even more, and could be quite interesting to experiement with. I love paper planes, this is really a neat, simple, yet complex flying paper plane. ;)
