Default New to scratch building!

I'm new to scratch building and I have a huge problem I need solved. I'm building a custom airplane that has a cylinder shaped fuselage. I'm using balsa wood sheets as covering for the fuse and I need help!! How do I bend the wood to make it fit the fuse? And what's best to glue the balsa sheeting to my fuselhe frame? I heard boiling the balsa is great for making it bend but glueing wet balsa is almost impossible! Someone please help!!!
