Stealth Aircraft Origami (Dover Crafts: Origami & Papercrafts)

Great book luv the models

Picked this up for my son,he loves it, easy follow instructions, many examples,to choose from,good value considering for the cost. I recommend getting the origami paper to go with it.

Let me start by saying this is a really cool book. The paper airplanes you can fold with this are absolutely insane---they look awesome and they can fly great too. The F-22 is probably my favorite paper airplane of all time. I have folded just about every plane in this book, at time of writing I still have the F-35 and the Su-57 to go. With all that being said, this book needs some improvements. The diagrams definitely need some work, there are numerous errors for every plane. The only reason I have been able to fold any of these models at all is because I have a lot of complex origami experience. Often times the arrows will point you one way and the diagrams will point you in another. You have to carefully examine not just one, but several steps ahead to ensure you're doing everything right. Long story short, if you were to follow every step exactly, you would not be able to fold the planes in this book. Also, as the author himself says in the introduction, this is not a book for the paper-folding novice. Errors aside, these planes are all HARD to fold. Complex maneuvers are made more difficult by the shoddy diagrams, yes, but even if the diagrams were on the caliber of many of the more expensive books in my collection, the difficulty is still insane. Also note that aside from the F-22 and Black Knight, none of these planes can be folded from an 8.5 x 11 piece of printer paper, it is simply too small and too thick. You need very large paper of at least 14 x 14 inches to be able to fold these well---and speaking from experience, even large paper like that gets small. TL;DR: It's a great book for the very experienced folder. If you are good enough at origami to be able to work around the errors in the diagrams, then you'll have a lot of fun with this book. If not, don't bother. The messed-up diagrams and large-paper requirements mean that the average person won't have a good time with these.

This book is very different from the rest of Merrill’s. All of these jets took me about 2-3 days to learn and make.(keep in mind, these are very advanced planes. Swivel folds, squash folds and even closed sink folds which are known in the origami community for being very difficult to achieve.) Other than the minor difficulties this book is wonderful. I recommend trying the F-22A Raptor as it is one of the easiest in the book.

What happened to this one? "US B-21 Raider Strategic stealth bomber, Northrop Grumman" That was the main reason I bought this book and it is not there.

Almost impossible to make these airplanes! Tried your patience. If anyone has successfully made a few of these and they fly, I would love to see a you tube video about making a plane from this book!

My 6 year old loves this

Muy practico

This book has advanced origami models and is well written. The models are difficult and few steps, it is advised to watch his videos on Youtube to get it right. Needs some practise to get the models perfect. Highly recommended book for realistic cool fly able models

- Models are extremely realistic and detailed representations of real-world counterparts. - Not for beginners. Models are challenging (and very rewarding); for the advanced folder. - Author's YouTube tutorials are extremely helpful for when you get stuck. - Fun level: Mach 3+ P.S. Each model actually flies. Yes that's right. And they fly extremely well. So they are little marvels of engineering in their own right and the work of a real origami innovator. Thank you for this great work.

実在する戦闘機の折り図です。最近話題のF-35の折り図もあります。折り図の分かりにくさは相変わらずなので、折るのはかなり難しいです。YouTubeにこの本の作品の折り方がいくつか紹介されているため、難しい方はYouTubeで探して見ると良いかもしれません。
