Don't use a ball point pen for making marks on the model during construction. If not sanded off, these ink marks will show
through the model's final finish. Use a pencil instead of a pen.
Identifying Kit Parts
Leave all die-cut parts in the sheets until needed in construction. Then remove the pieces from the sheets carefully. If
difficulty is encountered, do not force the part from the sheet - use a modeling knife to cut it free.
The die-cut balsa wing ribs are identified below. The die-cut plywood parts can be identified using the plans and the "KEY
TO PLYWOOD FORMERS". Mark the identification numbers on the corresponding parts before removing them from the
die-cut sheets.
All of the other parts can be identified by the "COMPLETE KIT PARTS LIST". Sort the different sizes of sticks and sheets
into individual piles to avoid confusion during building. Cut all long pieces of balsa first, followed by medium lengths, before
cutting up any full length strips into short pieces.
NOTE: Save any scrap balsa and plywood until the model is completely done. Some of it may be called for during
construction.

About The Building Sequence
The quickest and most efficient way to complete a model is to work on several pieces at the same time. While the glue is
drying on one section, you can start on or proceed with another part. Work can even go forward on several sections of the
same assembly at the same time, such as the front and rear sections of the fuselage.
