Paper ships and balsa tanks are not my only efforts at scatch building - I've also made a couple of attempts at balsa models. The Sukhoi Su2 was one of these efforts and I've just got round to repainting it.

Thanks for your link to this post in the Megablitz and more blog. I have considered this idea, but would use a teloscoping magnet rod to add posability.
