We recommend installing the lighting kit and
interior in the sequence of steps shown in the
manual. Adding these items after the model is built
may not be possible without causing damage to
your airframe. Please decide prior to beginning
construction whether or not you would like to

Before Starting Assembly
Before beginning the assembly of your model, remove
each part from its bag for inspection. Closely inspect
the fuselage, wing panels, rudder and stabilizer for
damage. If you find any damaged or missing parts,
contact the place of purchase.
If you find any wrinkles in the covering, use a heat gun
(HAN100) and covering glove (HAN150) or covering
iron (HAN101) with a sealing iron sock (HAN141) to
remove them. Use caution while working around seams
or areas where the colors overlap to prevent pulling
the seams.
During the course of building your model, we
suggest you use a soft base for the building surface.
Such things as a foam stand, large piece of
bedding foam or a thick bath towel will work well
and help protect the model from damage during
assembly. This is not shown in the instructions
to provide the greatest detail in the photos.
When referencing directions (up, down, left,
right, top and bottom), take note that these are
in relationship to the pilot sitting in the cockpit
of the aircraft unless noted otherwise.
