Nice little model Bob, I just went and had a look around their site, quite a 
lot of interesting stuff and modestly priced too.

Downloaded Papertigerarmaments BIRD DOG

Enlarged the uncolored one parts page to fill a letter size page then added 
color
before printing on 110 lb card stock.

A friend flew the Bird Dog in Viet Nam and I have been attempting to introduce 
paper modeling to him. I offered the download then figured I better build the 
thing to see
if there were any build problems for a beginning paper modeler.

There were none. Simple design, good fit.

Control surfaces ( all those little ladder like rectangles) were scored to 
enhance the model. Photo #1.

Wing attached photo #2. One side at a time pinched together then, by leaving 
wing tips open, separated the inside top and lower wing surfaces at root with 
long tool or stick before glue dried.

Note:
I failed to color fill the cowling rectangle panel both sides prior to printing.

Photo #3. Attached upper windshield and nose piece. Allowed to dry solid
before gluing the sides and bottom edges.

Photo #4. Business card mounting strut for horizontal stabilizers and tail 
wheel support.
In photo upper left may be seen my feeble attempt with the tire assembly.

Photo #5. My quick method for making tires. Punch out cereal box cover 
cardboard proper size discs and glue ‘em together.

Wire was used to reinforced the landing gear and wing struts.

Edges were lightly sanded before paint touch-up.

Mistakenly applied  acrylic gold paint to edges and had to touch up areas again 
with proper color.

Model wingspan is seven inches.

Unusual California rain today; snap shots were taken indoors under room 
lighting.
