Fiberglass Preparation
Prepare the fiberglass, wash all parts in warm water with mild detergent to remove all residue used in the molding
process and let them dry completely. The cabin set can be used as is with the bright yellow gelcoat, simply applying the
decals directly on the fiberglass. Alternately the cabin can be painted to match any existing full scale Bell 47G II or
create your own unique paint scheme.

Install one rubber grommet into each side of the
cabin. Once installed, apply “Goop” between
the seam and the grommet by lifting the edge
of the grommet and insert the adhesive. The
cabin lights are then bonded directly over the
grommets on the outside of cabin. Carefully
apply adhesive to the edge of the cabin light
and align level, clamp in place until dry.

Mark and trim out the windshield. To get a good fit between the windshield and the cabin, the
edges that will mount against the upper door frames need to be bent inwards. Using wide jaw pliers,
grip 1/8” of the edge of the windshield and bent inward. Test fit the windshield, if
it does not “snap fit” into place, repeat the procedure. Install and tape the top and
both sides in the final position. Insert a small part between the bottom of the
windshield and the cabin, opening a 1/8” to 1/4” gap. Apply “Goop” along the
center of the bottom edge, moving the part as adhesive is applied. After 30 minutes
of holding, apply another layer of “Goop” along the edge of the joint to reinforce
it. After 12 hours, remove the tape from one edge and repeat the process to bond
one side. Complete the remaining two edges the same way.
