This shows the completed 
assembly.

Step 6

Step 8

Locate the small item "C" (sheet 1) 
and glue this into place in the slots 
provide at the rear of the fuselage 
side. The slot in this item is for the 
pushrod to pass through. (Elevator 
or rudder).
Repeat this step on the RH Fus.
Keep all markings on the inside so 
they don't show on the finished 
model.

Glue "F4" into the back of the 
"F3" assembly from step 3, 
ensuring a 90 degree joint 
between the two. Ensure the top 
of "F4" is uppermost.

(You can use one of the fuselage 
sides to hold the items in the 
correct position until the glue has 
set but don't glue the assembly 
to the fuselage yet).

Step 7

Glue

90 degrees

Take "Fus LH" and the items "A" 
and "B" (sheet 1).
Glue "A" and "B" into their 
corresponding positions in "Fus 
LH".
Repeat this step on "Fus RH". 
Keep all markings to one side. 
That way they don't show on the 
finished model.
