Apply the waterslide transfers as shown in the image on the left. Lay out your parts the same as
in the picture (look at the wing tips and match the longer edge and shorter edge). Note that the
shorter wings on the top of the image near the fuselage are actually the top wings (there is a
middle section missing which actually makes them longer than the bottom ones once fitted to the
plane). So the stickers on the top wing (nearest the fuselage) are on the top of the wings. The
stickers on the bottom wing are on the underside.
First cut the water slide stickers out from the sheet. Cut exactly around the edges of the shapes.
Soak them in a bowl of water till they slide on the paper easily and slide them directly off the
paper onto the surfaces. Dab them with a tissue to remove excess water – don’t wipe them. Allow
to fully dry before continuing.
Note: The vertical stabilizer is not glued in yet – just attached in this image for demonstration.
Ribs - Glue in the wing ribs in the positions shown above. The top wing has been flipped over in
this image. Note that on the shorter wing (top wing), the second slots in from the tips are actually
for the struts, not the ribs. On the bottom wings the slots for the struts actually line up with one
of the ribs. After gluing in this rib, turn the wing over and make sure that you clear any glue from
the strut anchor slots.
After they have dried you may like to lightly sand around the edges of the wings and round off the
edge on the top side.
Step 08 – Wing Braces
To mount the wing braces you must cut away the pre cut sections in the fuselage as shown in the
image on the top left. You don’t need to cut at the ends of the pre-cut lines. Just cut a small
section out in the middle and then see how much you need to cut out to allow the braces to fit in
neatly. These can be glued in or screwed in with the screws provided. We suggest screwing them
in for easy removal if needed later.
