But, this is a cardboard model and its complexity should be in balance with the simplicity of the cardboard technology genre as a whole. But, this is again a matter for discussion. How complex should be a cardboard model be?
Here is my “anvil,” which I have already mentioned. The fork was also annealed, flattened, drilled, wrapped in copper wire and soldered.
This is a tail wheel with a axis that has not yet been cut to size.
This can already be sent to the photographic contest …. 🙂
The tail wheel strut was wrapped glued with paper, then another tube was inserted into the corresponding diameter, which was glued into the fuselage. I made a rotary design.

And some more details need to be painted.
