 Indeed, I own many planes and chisels, but I do not possess many tools specific to solid modeling. There are builders who can make a mock-up with a single knife and do it far better than I can. Owning good drills or woodworking machines does not automatically yield better models.\\ Indeed, I own many planes and chisels, but I do not possess many tools specific to solid modeling.

 You will need a somewhat wide board for the main wing. If you have straight-grained magnolia with a bluish cast, select a good piece. Transfer the wing outline from a template and rough-cut it 2–3 mm oversize.\\ You will need a somewhat wide board for the main wing.

 Form the wing-root tab at the same time. If possible, align the grain with the trailing-edge line; this helps when scribing.
