Ah, that's the car he's going to build: A TF car. The Quad version would be best!He'd be more busy building a Thunderfighter car instead!
Colonial Viper Car (PaperJams entry 2021)

A better idea is a Thunderfighter car. A nice roomy 4-seat version!
Thank you! 
The side mirrors are pretty small. Take your time to assemble them.
The wings and fin tend to bulge a bit. To make them keep their shape I added some scrap paper laminated together.

GOOD WORK!!!
@Rhaven Blaack is going to like driving around in this! Any thought on what type of jet engines are going into it?

Modified J58 turbo ramjets... optimized for Mach 3.3+
Exactly! I figure that the Viper probably would have an equivalent to about 6 j58 engines!
Now we are getting serious!
This is the assembled fuselage.
The completed engine tubes. I made a mistake by attaching the inserts the wrong way. These pictures here show the intended configuration. Please note that the seam lines on the rear inserts and on the tubes must match.
The wings are attached to the side engine tubes. Then the tubes are put into the slots of the fuselage:
The fit is good and the parts are perfectly aligned:
The high engine is glued into place:
And the fin:

- 13,876
- 10,216
- 228
All the parts are so proper. You'll have a real beauty when you are finished.
Now comes a major update!
The axles for the aft wheels are pre-shaped.
Just like the axles the rear wheels are not complete but cut in halves to make assembly easier. If I had left them complete you would have had to cut a hole into the fuselage and the engine tubes.
The aft wheels are glued into place. As you can see I attached the license plate as well.

The front axle and front wheels however are complete.
To prevent the axle from shifting to the left or right two thin strips are glued to it.
Then the wheels are pushed over the axle and glued to it.
The hub cap hides the flaps.
Both vehicle halves are attached.
The mirrors are glued into place.
I'm now attaching several greeblies such as the lights.
Almost there..!

It's... it's... almost... done!!!!
Excellent work @Revell-Fan !!! I love how you did the wheel and axle assemblies. Good work!
