Airplane Yak-12

Modern life develops in such a way that, having already become parents, we do not always have enough time for our children. Puzzled by the issue of earning money and material security, dads, who are so needed by their children, often do not have the energy for games and entertainment. Therefore, all busy dads who are the happy owners of wonderful sons will find this master class very useful, which will help you build an airplane together with your child in just 1 hour. It may not be an exact copy of a Boeing or fighter jet, having the most important parts in its arsenal, but a pleasant time together will help you create a toy from scrap materials that the baby will be very happy with. Just imagine with what pride your precious son will declare among the children that his dad made this toy for him, himself, with his own hands, and he helped. Such moments are the most valuable in life and will help you forget about accumulated fatigue at the end of a hard day at work.
So, let's start making the simplest aircraft, the Yak-12 model. In order to make such a model, you will need the following tools and materials:
• plywood or thick cardboard;
• hand jigsaw for wood;
• a sheet of paper for a template;
• pencil or marker;
• sandpaper (if working with plywood).
The first step towards creating a model is its template (drawing). In my case, there was a clipping from an old magazine, which can easily be copied onto a blank white sheet. To make the task easier, you can use our template by printing it on a printer.



Next, all paper parts must be cut out using scissors. It should be noted that the size of the parts can be adjusted independently by increasing or decreasing them on the computer.



After the paper parts are cut out, they must be attached to the plywood, traced along the contour, after which the templates must be put aside.




When the outlines of the future aircraft are drawn on the plywood, they must be carefully cut out. To do this, you need to take a jigsaw for wood and carefully cut out all the parts; you should be especially careful about the small parts that hold the main ones together.





The last step is to collect all the parts. To do this, you do not need to use any glue or other fastening components; all parts are inserted one into the other.





So, by spending just an hour of time, you can easily make an airplane that, even if it doesn’t fly, will be one of your child’s most beloved toys. Don’t forget that you can involve the baby himself in the work, entrusting him with the most enjoyable part of the job - decorating. You can decorate the plane by painting it with paints, adding stickers in the form of stars, animals or other elements, or you can leave it in its original form.
