Section 17: Attaching the Canopy
Step 5
Carefully cut out the canopy following the outline. Glue
the canopy to the fuselage using RC560 canopy glue.
Tape the canopy in place using masking tape and allow
the glue to dry over night. For added security, use four
#2 wood screws placed on the corners of the canopy.
Step 6
Mount the plastic air scoop detail to the left side of the
fuselage. Locate the scoop just behind the cowl and
centered on the fuselage. Use a flexible adhesive like
Shoe-Goo or silicone sealant.
Section 18: Application of Decals
Parts Needed
• Fuselage assembly
• Decal sheet
Tools and Adhesives Needed
• Scissors
• Hobby knife
• Spray bottle w/water
• Paper towels
Step 1
Use the photos to locate the position of the decals on the
Texan. Use a water spray bottle with 2–3 drops of dish
soap added to the water and spray both the fuselage and
sticky side of the decal. This will allow you to reposition
the decal if necessary.
