	Boeing Clipper - Card Model Forums
		No I don't think I can design aircraft this is definately a bit on the lumpy side, as it stands, but it does look like it might unfold and with a lot of sanding etc it might build.
		I first saw this beast in a book about 1943 and I thought it and the Empire flying boats were the ultimate bees knees, so having got tired of bollards and railings for a while I thought I would try this.
		I for one would not worry too much about any perceived rough spots, I think you can work it out as you build by forming the skin to be rounded...sort of how I made one of the airigami jets to reduce the boxey design they have.
