Zero Fighter - Satoshi Kamiya
Folded from a 14" (35.5 cm) square of MC treated 44 gsm Kikura kozo. Finished model has about a 7" (17.8 cm) wingspan.
From diagram in Works of Satoshi Kamiya 3.
A fun model to fold. Extremely long (300+ steps) diagram, but not too difficult. Not surprisingly, it requires plenty of shaping after folding to look nice.
The landing gear under the wings are only two layers thick at the tip, so they're likely to buckle over time in a humid environment (like NYC in summer). I inserted a piece of the same paper folded several times to help it stand up in the long term.
