Notes on building the model
It is essential to read right through these instructions before starting to build the
model. Please be aware of the hazards involved in the use of tools.
Remove all traces of grease from the joint surfaces of components which are to be
glued. A good method is to sand lightly before wiping with a non-greasy liquid deter-
gent solution. Before gluing any GRP parts, and GRP fuselages in particular, the joint
surfaces must be sanded thoroughly with fine-grit abrasive paper before de-greasing
with a solvent such as acetone. This is the only method of obtaining durable glued
joints involving GRP parts.
Tools required to build the AMIGO IV
