Start with a square piece of paper. Fold into water
bomb base with the desired color side out.
1. Make a waterbomb base. Mountain fold on
diagonals and valley fold on horizontal and vertical
halves. Push the paper so that the center rises up
like a pyramid, then lay it down and flatten it.
2. Take one flap and inner-reverse fold.
3. Outer-reverse fold that flap so that the obtuse
angle is slightly over the center line, and the bi-sect
angule line of the flap is parallel to the base.
4. Repeat 2 and 3 on all three other flaps. Then,
fold in the bottom part to sharpen the wings.
5. Fold in one of the flaps then out, as shown.

6. Repeat 5 on all three other flaps.
7. Arrange the design 3-dimensional, and prop up
the cockpit, and we have the basic body design.
8. Making the engines involves scissor cuts. If you
prefer pure origami, skip to #15 to form the wing-tip
laser cannons. Cut each wing along the front edge,
about 5/6 of the length from the tip.
9. Fold the upper flaps up, and lower flaps down, on
the outer flap of each wing, parallel to the body of
the fighter. The 4 folded up flaps shall become the
engines.
10. Outer reverse fold an engine flap as shown.
11. Fold the tip of the engine flap in and out.

12. Sink the top portion of engine as shown.
13. Use a chopstick to shape the engine round.
14 Repeat #10 to #13 on all three other engines.
15. Inner-reverse fold the wing tips forward and
sharpen to form laser cannons, and we’re done.
