Vacform parts are made from high impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic. Vacform parts should
be glued to one another using solvent based ‘glue’. 3D printed parts should be glued to one
another and to vacformed parts using cyanoacrylate (Superglue or equivalent) or 2-part
epoxy.

II.B.1. OPTION: Install wheel wells:

Wheel wells should be installed prior to assembling fuselage halves and wings.
