Place the
Cockpit
Windows
over (or
under) the gap
between the
(L)
points on the
Fuselage
.

FUSELAGE
Attach the
Nose Landing Gear
to the fuselage. Identify
the point that is precisely the middle point on the non
-printed side of the fuselage between the two
(H)
tabs. Note that this point is not printed, however a
line may be lightly ruled between the two points with
a pencil to help identify it.
Place the Nose Landing Gear
(F)
tabs
on the middle point identified in
above. Apply small pieces of tape
(J)
over the
(F)
tabs of the Nose
Landing Gear to adhere to the
interior of the fuselage.
Curve the tabs highlighted at the front of the
Fuselage
section along the
(K)
lines. Do not make folds of
these tabs, otherwise the aircraft will appear ‘boxy’.
Place small pieces of tape on the inside or outside of
the highlighted tabs, and pull the corresponding tabs
together and adhere. Do not adhere the
(H)
tabs.
Line up each corres-
ponding tab and
adhere. Though more
challenging to place
the tape inside, it
gives a ‘cleaner’
appearance.
Pull the
Nose Landing
Gear
through the gap
of the
(H)
tabs.
Curve the tabs highlighted at the rear of the
Fuselage
section along the
(M)
lines. Do not fold these tabs,
otherwise the aircraft will appear ‘boxy’. Place small
pieces of tape
(L)
on the inside or outside of the
highlighted tabs, and adhere the corresponding tabs
together.
Line up and adhere
each corresponding
tab. Though more
challenging to place
the tape inside, it
gives a ‘cleaner’
appearance.
