Please trial  t all the parts. Make sure you have

THUNDERBIRDS 

ARF is hand made 

from  natural  materials,  every  plane  is  unique 
and  minor  adjustments  may  have  to  be  made. 
However,  you  should  find  the  fit  superior  and 
assembly simple.
The painted and plastic parts used in this kit are 
fuel proof. However, they are not tolerant of many 
harsh  chemicals  including  the  following:  paint 
thinner, C/A glue accelerator, C/A glue debonder 
and acetone. Do not let these chemicals come in 
contact  with  the  colors  on  the  covering  and  the 
plastic parts.

To  avoid  scratching  your  new  airplane,  do  not
unwrap  the  pieces  until  they  are  needed  for 
assembly. Cover your workbench with an old towel 
or brown paper, both to protect the aircraft and to 
protect the table. Keep a couple of jars or bowls 
handy to hold the small parts after you open the 
bag.
