10. Use a pin drill and 1/8-inch (3mm) drill bit to drill

the four holes in the cowling for the mounting screws.



11 Slide the cowling back onto the fuselage and secure

it using four 4-40 x 1/4-inch socket head screws and a

3/32-inch ball driver. Make sure to use threadlock on the

screws to prevent them from vibrating loose.



12. Use medium CA to glue the radiator scoop to the

side of the fuselage behind the cowling. A felt-tipped pen

can be used to color in the scoop to give that open look.
