Bearhawk 24" Wingspan Build

On my models all cut lines, inside of parts are dotted lines. Dash lines are fold lines.
1465 Cutting/Scoring parts

1470 Gluing first part of rear bottom fuselage, short glue tab on each side. I like to do one side then do the other so the model gets built evenly.

1474 Inside look at glue tabs-note one side is completed.

1475 Both Sides glued: Now head up front for more gluing practice

1478 Forgot to pre-shape the part. A flat now has to fit a curve. This will take extra clamping time. You'll see the proper pre-shaping when I do the top of the fuselage.

1488 Edge coloring. Only way to get rid of white lines on model once completed. Each edge of the cardstock will show on completed model unless you camouflaged with edge coloring. Some use pastels, water colors, water color pencils, color pencils, gray pencil lead, color markers.

1491 Cutting Wing Root Glue tab Slits.

1498 Good view of slits after cutting completed. You want the tabs to slide in easy. Check out the pre-shaped part. The top front engine cowling has been properly pre-shape by rolling a wood dowel under it until it curved.
