Hi all, i had been slagging all along. Nowadays, i was kinda bored and thought of building something like planes. So i went online to airplane forum and search for plans of jets. There are many different models to choose from. Finally i chose one of my favourite jet of all time, the F16C. I chose it because it is small and looks good. Okay, after i downloaded the plans and printed them out on A4 size paper. After which i tape them together, so i can look at the full scale of the plan. Like i said, its small. All these stuffs was done yesterday BTW.

Today, i went to Art Friend at Bras Brasah to buy some compressed foam and UHU por. The plan recommend me to buy 6mm and 3mm compressed foam, but they do not have 6mm and 3mm ones, so i bought the nearest one, 5mm ones, got 3 big pieces. And for the 3mm ones, i replaced it with cardboard, hope it works. Went home, settle down for awhile before i start work on my F16 project.

Firstly, i cut out the shape from the plan of the F16 fuselage, following the outlines of the fuse. After which, i transfer the result onto the 5mm compressed foam. To start out the outlines on the foam, i used a pencil to trace the outlines on the compressed foam, spent 5-10mins doing it. After doing so, i start cuting using a hobby knife, just before i cut, i changed the blade, as i want a clean cut. It took me another 10mins though.







Now, after cutting the main fuselage out. I need to cut the vertical fuselage into half, so as to put the horizontal fuselage together. Cutting the lines is rather simple, as its the same job as cutting the fuse, as method. 10mins passed while cutting. Follow after that is glueing the top vertical fuselage to the horizontal fuselage. I used HobbyKing Foam-safe CA (also known as BSI) with Mercury accelerator. I aline them properly and start spamming CA and accelerator. This job is quick and clean. And then, something got to my mind, i think i forgotten to add some carbon rods to strengthen the whole fuse, so i went on to find some used carbon rods, i am luck i had some left over ones and its long enough. So i went on and spam CA and accelerator. At first i glued the first rod on the main wing, then i thought, the LE might be weak, so i decided to glue a thin carbon rod onto the LE, now i felt much more stronger. Awesome! Damn, after that, i found out that the missile thingy are also freaking weak, and i had no more carbon rods left. Few minutes of searching and thinking, i took out 2 ice-cream sticks, cut them inside half and stick them on the side of the missile thingy. I am impressed with my first attempt of my scratch build from plan. Thats all for this, stay tune for the next part.
