Finally, using slow drying glue again, glue the
opposite fuselage side on. Use some model
masking tape to hold the sides in place while
this part dries.
At this stage do not glue the two ends of the
fuselage at the back together. A tail skid will
be glued in there later.
Next glue in the supports on either side of the
nose on the inside. These should be flush with
the outer wall of the fuselage. If not then sand
the long straight edges until the curved edge
sits flush with the fuselage sides as shown in
the image.
Glue in place the bottom nose cone piece.
Wet this piece with a few drops of water on
both sides and allow a few minutes for it to
soak in. Then bend it carefully around the
curve and secure it in place with model
masking tape until the wood has dried out and
it holds its shape. Then glue it in place.
Glue the top nose cone in place.
Glue in the front windscreen.
Then glue in the wing brace. There are two
slots in the fuselage sides for it to fit into as
well as two in the fuselage frame. Make sure
the brace sits down into the locating slots and
that it is flush with the top of the fuselage
walls.
Flush with top
