Make
sure
you
allow

dry
thoroughly
before
moving

The
plans
show
where
this
should
go,
but
it
can
be
put
in
the
wrong
spot
if
care
is
not
taken.
At
this
stage
a
left
and
right
side
are
made,
so
mark
each
side
appropriately
before
committing
any
glue
to
the
model.
Use
light
pencil
lines
to
mark
where
the
doubler
needed
to
go
to
make
sure
that
glue
is
not
spread
everywhere.
After
waiting
for
the
glue
to
tack,
weight
both
sides
down
with
lead
shot
bags
(and
some
plastic
wrap
to
make
sure
they
don’t
stick
together)
for
the
glue
to
dry.
Once
the
fuselage
sides
are
dry,
the
formers
can
be
attached
to
one
side.
