Excellent  {:)}
Is it a kit?
Is it laser cut?
How did you get pine in such thin sheets?
How much does the airframe weigh?

It would be nice to see more photos as the construction progresses.
Best wishes.

Well..... Bhanu Prakash,

I have experimented with many kinds of wood and found that Pine is rather heavy.... Maybe you may be able to use Deodar wood for some parts as spars.  There is one wood called Cryptomaria Japinica... it is a lot harder than Balsa but can be made into sheets and spars for use in aeromodelling.  I been using it regularly as I had a small log or it and I got it cut into sheets.  I have 3 - 5 mm sheets of this wood.  Enough to last me a few more models.   

This wood is a fine wood basically and is found in the hills all over the Himalayas.... I heard people in the eastern part of the country still manage to get this wood and use it.  If i am correct it is called Sagu in the local language in Kolkatta.  You may like to try it.

Otherwise search for Vivek Sharma in this site and ask him to send you some Balsa.  He is at Jodhpur and a very helpful guy.

best wishes.
