It is/was quite popular in Poland. 35 years ago, as a kid, I was assembling paper models. Planes were the easiest, usually it took about 2 days to do one. Couple of years ago I wanted to get back to it, so I bought a plane. Well, it turned out that fashion for paper models had changed and now 'reductionist' models are in full swing - being as close as possible to original. That plane has 160 pieces (a lot of them also subdivided), and every part that has size about 10cm in real life, has been modelled. In two weeks I was still in cockpit. Here is paper model of SR-71: https://www.sklep.model-kom.pl/sr-71-model-samolotu-rozpozna... From drawings it looks like it is more than 167+, not including subparts.
