First paper airplane a Fokker DVII

Hi.

This is so very different than other modelling (plastic/metal/wood). One question is when you build a box structure such as the fuselage of this airplane are there tricks to keep the cardstock/paper from bowing inwards? If this continues to be a problem I am thinking of adding bulkheads inside and trying it again. (This is a print-out model on my home computer printer on cardstock)with tabs for gluing. I bought a few styles of glue pens made for paper models by the way and still use a toothpick to spread a very small coat so it holds without soaking into the paper.

I cut out the parts and the tabs and scored where they will bend to form the structures with a #11 blade and used wooden sticks to help hold the tabs to the inside of the adjacent parts but the cardstock is bowing inwards on the sides and bottom of the fuselage.

Sincerely,
Max
