Sravan came over , to take a break from my Giles 202 with JBA 15 CC gas engine project, printed, made template, cut and made FA-18 Super Hornet from Tomhe Plans (http://rc.tomhe.net/fa-18) , the idea to make one was mooted by Sandy (Sundaram Velar)

all this was 3 hr effort, two simultaneous cuttings, self & Sravan.

Thanks Ashok ,
how you got it shipped from Bangalore ? Foam is hard to transport even within city!!

Great looking build, indecently even Ashok brought a FA-18 hornet made of yellow coro.

Foams are from ashok NG (foamybuilder) from this forum, ask him for the price, approx 100 rs a sheet i think (I have a huge consignment of foams)
