Wood Parts
Be careful when removing parts (such as fuselage sides) from
the die-cut sheets. Long parts are fragile until glued into a struc-
tural unit. If necessary, use a razor knife or razor saw to assist in
the removal of parts from the sheet. Sometimes a little trimming
and sanding can improve parts, where desired. Save scrap until
the model is completed, in case a part is missing or damaged.
Also, scrap is used in some building steps. Solid lines indicate
die-cut parts; dashed lines indicate cuts to be made as described.
Some easily recognized pieces, such as nose block, are not
shown.

About The Wood In The Kit
We strive to supply good quality materials in your kit. Wood
parts are inspected with regard to the function they will serve. If
an imperfection is spotted in a scrap corner of a die-cut sheet
and doesn’t affect actual parts, the sheet is considered accept-
able. Also, internal stresses in wood are relieved as it is cut into
parts. These relieved stresses may cause some parts to bow.
Bows in wood parts (such as leading edges) readily straighten
out as they are glued into a structural unit.
