Building My First Balsa Model Plane Kit (West Wings Merlin) - Part 1

Описание: After buying this West Wings Merlin traditional balsa glider kit a few years ago I finally got round to starting the build! My previous experience amounts to sticking some matchsticks together with my lad Sam when we built the DPR Models Cessna so this will be a bit different being a traditional balsa model plane with built up wings! Today I make a start setting up my build table and making a start on the fuselage. I also talk you through what glues and building tools I'll be using. It will be great to have you along so do hit subscribe whilst you're watching. Part 2 coming soon :)
