Started building this a month ago and it is near completion.  This is my first full fuse build of a fighter series.
Bare model weight without electronics has come to around 300-330grams.  No hotglue was used on entire model, even while gluing cf. Entire model took around two to three small tubes of bondtite.
These will be the power setup

Either Emax 2846 2500kv inrunner motor on 3S or NTM series 1800kv with 4S
ESC: 60A ESC (skywing)
Battery: Nanotech 2200 3S or 4S
Prop: EMP 6x4
Servos: 3 Metal Gear Digital Servos.
Supposed to be my costliest setup till date.

Here are the build pics.
There were lots of pieces due to its nose and canopy section.

This plan has two lengths of fusalage glued together, here is the first half.

two halfs of fuse, and canopy

canopy, nose and fuse assembled.

Fuse completed. Nose and canopy sanded.

For wing section, added kf2. Somehow plan insists on flat plate. But never I have flown a flat plate, so will be using kf2 here too.

Soldered extensions and checking the battery compartment. Used soldering iron to have holes in each compartment to route the wire till the end.
The wire extensions have become heavy, always a problem with long fuse pushers..

Painted and added the decals. Somehow couldn't get a smooth finish, will be using foam putty in my next build.

Yet to add the elevator controls, and servo for wings.

Foamy..nice effort and excellent build..expecting a nice video...soon...have a nice flight...

Thanks krishna, plan to maiden this next week.

Cool! 

Wow that looks like a hell of a build. When do you plan to maiden?

Nice build "Foamybuilder".

The coincidence with this is, I have been also building an F15 using same plan with few modifications.

I just made the symmetric airfoil shaped main wing with 3mm foam While the plan has a single sheet flat plate wing with sanded edges.
I am excited to know result of the modification made by you. I also don't prefer flat plates for myself.

Doubled the sheet thickness on elevator (stated as stabilator in plan) while the plan has a elevator made up of single 6mm sheet.
So, it needed two servos to be mounted for both the sides of elevator as they move independently now.

Then In the plan, the entire elevator moves up and down While I made a part as stationary (fixed on the fuselage using glue permanently) and fixed another part of it with hinges. The original method of mounting elevators was getting difficult for me.

I used magnet to attach the canopy to fuselage. What did you use? The original plan uses Velcro I guess.

I am also thinking of adding landing gears to it as I am bad at hand launching. Do you too?

Please post a maiden video for sure and I will start a build thread of mine soon.
Also please share the image or some reference of color scheme if you have any.......

Yours looking beautiful. Nicely built and all the very best for the maiden.

great..efforts..my friends...

Me or Foamybuilder?   >

both of you Sumeet...

sumeet , good to hear you too are building the same. What is the power setup you are planning.
Yah controlling elevators with separate elevators will give you tailerons effect. Then the ailerons on the wing become optional. You can also use them in conjunction with the taileron control surface, but again it will need totally four servos.
It is difficult to add landing gear for foam planes, even though we plan to reinforce things, when things go wrong it would destroy the plane. I like the belly landing the most as the force gets distributed equally even during hard landings. However I need to add some mod for the handlaunch around belly surface, similar to my f22. For canopy I will use velcro, somehow with magnets the canopy tends to pop off during landing when belly touches the ground hard.

Foamy...cant we fix a nice landing gear on it..?

i am making a similar F-18 using steve's plans!

im having difficulty in mounting the elevators to the cf rod as it is with sumeet. so looks like its either an elevon or usual setup!

looking forward to the maiden! 

fabulous build and fantastic colour scheme Ashok. Great job. Eagerly waiting for Video.

Superb ashok. Goes well with ur handle name.

WOW 

It really looks beautiful!!!! now i am getting tempted to start building steve's Su37!!!!!

all the best!!!!

Ashish

what are dimensions??

hmmmmmmmmmm nice
