The legend of aviation in miniature. Aircraft modeling is a great activity that is suitable for both boys and adult men. Love for airplanes, as well as a little patience - this is perhaps all that is needed to get a good model. Pleasant is the fact that the materials we need are of very little cost. You can buy them at any hardware store.
The Su-34 is a legendary combat vehicle, which for several decades has been serving the Russian army as an attack fighter. In this master class, we will make a model of this aircraft that you can launch, or simply use as a souvenir.
To make a model, we need:
1. Ceiling tile.
2. Styrofoam up to 20 mm thick.
3. Clay "Dragon".
4. Stationery knife.
5. Sandpaper.
6. Marker.
7. Plasticine.
To start, we will make the details of the ceiling tiles. To do this, we need to draw them, and cut them out.

It is important to note that the dimensions of the parts in this case are not fundamental, but the proportions and symmetry should be observed as in the photograph.
Unlike the body (1), and the keels (2.2 *), the air intakes (3.3 *) must be glued from three parts, as in the photo, the gluing line is indicated in green.

When the air intakes are ready, you can stick them to the body, the gluing line is indicated in orange.

Then stick the keels according to the red line.

When the glue under the keels is almost dry, you need to push them a little (1-3 mm from the level position) in the upper part, this will give the plane better stability in the air. This can be done simply by inserting between the keels, for several minutes, a stick of the appropriate size. Next, we need to make the fuselage, which consists of the rear and front parts, each of them is divided into lower and upper. Draw the details, cut them out and sand them with sandpaper. Part number three, must be done in duplicate. Now that all the components are ready, you can begin to glue them.

Colored lines should be used by analogy with the previous parts. The fighter is ready.

It can be decorated in camouflage style, or any other, depending on your personal wishes.
However, such a model so far cannot fly, because it has a small weight, and the uneven distribution of this weight over the hull. In order for the plane to plan, it is necessary to balance it. This can be done experimentally by gluing pieces of plasticine of different sizes to the nose of the aircraft. The place where you want to load the model is shown in the photo.

If the fighter smoothly plans, the amount of cargo is chosen correctly.
A correctly made model can fly about 25 meters. If there are problems with the launch of the aircraft, then literally 5 - 15 minutes of training, and everything will be in order. The plane will give you and your children an unforgettable experience. Successful flights to you!
With respect, the Grape brothers.
