I know exactly what you mean about the cardstock. After starting my first commercial model, I QUICKLY made up my mind that laminating several sheets together is not the best way to go if you can help it. No matter how well you glue it the edges tend to fray and seperate. At least that's what was happening to me and my no-name stuff that I bought at Staples. YMMV.

That is one very cool aircraft! Looking forward to seeing the build thread.

It is nice, I have one in my pile. He also has wheels and the canopy if you want to treat yourself!

Tried that kit a few years ago, went together great until the skin on the front of the cockpit was short of the frames.
