Here are first pics of my Boeing 737 model. Lot of work to be completed. Currently working on Main Wings. I have used Sunboard for wings, horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer .... toooooo heavy . HD thermocol just can't hold it properly. Anyways it is not going to fly so no worries.

I will be working soon on main wing assembly.

Any suggestion for improvements are welcome...

Thanks..

Nice work & finishing.
but check aerodynemic properties and proportion of wings,fuselage & other parts of total body.

hi    good job ......shantanu   if you donot fly .what reason to make it

Scale display model, perhaps? Good job done Shantanu - just re check the vertical tail dimensions.

Thanks all...

It is going to be a display model in one of the mall in Mumbai. I have also observed vertical stabilizer which is little odd. I am going to correct it.

Lovely Shantanu, well done work..Once you fix the vert stab, I am sure you will have lots of visitors eyeing that beauty..Try putting blended winglets like on the 737NG ;)

Winglets  ..  Good idea thanks.

Here are new pics of 737 under construction. Just ordered wheels for main landing gear from RCBazaar. Wings are almost completed. Next step is making engines and landing gears.

If all goes well model should be ready within a two weeks.

Beautiful  :o  :bow:
plz make a flying model just like this one  (:|~

Nice work really like it will following with interest :) ;)

Shantanu, your build is beautiful...

I am sure your building technique, tips and tricks will come in handy for all modellers here, esp. for that round fuse...Would you have any for us?

Thanks you guys for your appreciation.

This is my first aircraft model. So I am learning and only practice will make it perfect. I believe studying the subject thoroughly before building model is MUST. As far as fuselage of this model is concerned fortunately I found HD thermocole in cylindrical shape which made my job easier. For nose section and tail section I had to carve the thermocol for the perfect shape. Model will look much smoother once I apply some coat on it (which I am still searching for). If you have any ideas please share.

Use paper mache method to cover this beauty. It will give it a smooth finish. It will give your model strength and also add some weight but it doesn't matter as you are not going to fly it.
Apply newspaper or tissue long strips with a brush and glue -water solution (2:1)

Thanks .. Will try this method.

I need gloss finish once paint job is completed. Any suggestion/ideas on how to achieve it.

You can use spray can of clear coat. Search it in to any art and craft shop. but dont forget to mention that you want it to use on. Or else NC base clear will spoile entire job.

here are main landing gears

Really willing to see the completed plane waiting :) ;)

And plane is on its own landing gears.  Main landing wheels are bit smaller. I am going to order little bigger wheels....
Now next step making engines....

 :'( :'( it is painful that such a beautiful scale model cant fly :banghead:!!

Me too feel that same pain :(

here goes engines

Thats great :)

Here are more pics of my model after mounting engines. With lots of mess around  ;D

Thank you everyone for appreciations. I used fevicryl acrylic colours for painting as it was thermocol model. I am not very good at paint job but some how this time I have managed better.

Thank you very much once again....  :)

I seriously wish this could fly. Sir why don't you add electronics to it and make it airborne... For the display at that mall, you can give some other model ;) ;)

Lovely looking like Readymade...
Great skill... :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute: :salute:

awesome work ShantanuBorate     {:)} {:)} {:)}


wish I could fly this baby ......


plz remake one which can fly ....  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Good Morning Friends  :) ,

This was my first attempt to make aircraft model and also it was my dream to make B737 model of this size. Trust me it was very tough to make model but finally did it. I do not feel like giving this model to my client but  :banghead:  ... 

Now I am working on my Cessna model and will finish by tonight. Hopefully it will be good . Will post pics soon.


Thanks ...

shantanu.....don't give it man (:|~

add some electronics n fly it...... :hatsoff:

Shantanu sir,
Please don't give this model. It seriously deserves flying... I am very sure that the you'll make the other Cessna model like this one... I am feeling very sad :( :( :banghead: that this won't fly and would be just a model, which people and kids would gaze at in that mall...

Shantanu !! 797-7, both models are indeed good :hatsoff:

Cessna model           (:|~

bring it .........
i want to see the first lookkkkkkkk 8-)

And Finally... Models are (B737 and Cessna) handed over to its owner yesterday  :banghead:  :'(   

Once again.. hats off to you sir. :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

This plane makes me want to shed a tear. Beautiful
