We can make a small airplane model from materials found at home and always available. A simple model of an airplane can be made in an easy and fun way. It can also be a toy for children, especially boys. For them, planes and cars of all shapes and sizes. It is possible to make a model airplane in more than one way. road.
The first method. To make a small airplane model:
The materials we need
- An empty plastic soft drink can of medium or large size.
- Plastic container lids (6).
- scalpel.
- Cardboard or piece of cork.
- Sticky tape.
- flour.
- Water.
- Newspaper or any type of paper.
- Dye and color as desired
Steps to make a small airplane model
- We wash the plastic container well and dry it well as well.
- We cut the front part of the plastic box if we want to get a shorter plane, and this step is optional.
- Then we cut the bottom of the plastic box in circles until we get an almost flat bottom.
- Then we make longitudinal slots according to the width of the plane's wing to install the plane's wings.
- We bring a piece of cork or cardboard and determine with a pencil the shape and size of the wing appropriate to the size of the plane. Then we cut the shape and usually we need four of the plane’s wings.
- Then we attach the wings to the plane with good adhesive tape, where we attach more than one layer of adhesive so that the wings do not slip away.
- To make the front and rear wheels, we use plastic container lids. We glue 2 plastic container lids together and install them as front wheels, and we glue 4 plastic container lids together and install them as rear wheels. We take care that the plane is balanced when placing it on the ground.
- We mix water and flour to make a dough, and any color can be added as desired, such as pink or blue. And white.
- Place paper or newspaper, depending on what you have, in the dough and dip it well until it is all dyed and no undyed areas remain.
- We cover the entire plane with paper and paper dipped in dough and leave it until it dries. After the paper dipped in dough dries, we clear the viewing area for the plane driver. Finally, stickers with pictures of passengers can be placed on the sides of the plane.
