Hi guys. I've got my F-15 Eagle fighter jet that I completed from cardstock paper and other materials. It was pretty difficult but also enjoyable to build. Hope you enjoy it.

Good shot for a 1st try. If you want to build some accurate models, get some from online (free) and study the way the fuselages are made. You need former's to make the shape of the fuselage, and for just about everything else.
This model below shows the fomer's, and the body shaped around them. This model (not this exact one, but one close enough, named ESKA) is avaiable and will show you much about modeling. I'd be happy to help also.

Thanks for the good word, it's hard to build a model from scratchGood shot for a 1st try. If you want to build some accurate models, get some from online (free) and study the way the fuselages are made. You need former's to make the shape of the fuselage, and for just about everything else.

I know you might think this is a very difficult model, but so much can be learned from it, I'd highly recommend you give it a try.

miijob is an accomplished designer. You have the back of that plane done well. I can help you with the nose and glass section, it wouldn't be difficult, and would expand your model making ability quite a bit. Let me know if and what you would what you would be interested in trying, and we'll start with something that you will learn with but won't be tedious. A well built model does not have to be tedious to build, or learn how to. We could start with the nose cones. There are various methods of doing this, whichever you decide you're comfortable with and yields the best results is the one you go for. The model I posted looks fantastically slick, but it isn't that hard to build. :
