40. Glue the lower instrument panel to the side consoles and the
stringers at an angle to match the console sides. Glue C24 and
C25 together. Trim as necessary to fit flush between F18 and the
lower instrument panel.
42. At this point, return to the main instruction manual and resume con-
struction of the fuselage from Step 15 on page 15. The only additional
point the note is that since the fuse sheeting makes up a portion of the
upper cockpit sidewall, it will be easier to paint the inside portion of the
sheeting around the cockpit prior to gluing the sheeting in place.
Return to this supplement when you’ve reached Step 1 of the Final
Fuselage Assembly, Page 18.
43. Cut the gun hood out and fit to the upper fuselage. Cut the cock-
pit glareshield to fit as shown on the plans.
44. Trim the upper instrument panel to fit with the gun hood in place.
Cut the instrument backing out and glue to the panel.
45. Glue the upper instrument panel in place 1/2” aft of the lower
panel
46. Glue C27 Trim Handle to C26 Trim wheel and glue wheel at an
angle to cockpit sidewall.
Return to step 5 on page 18.
31. Cut the left and right console instrument backing from the sheet
provided. Glue to the appropriate consoles.
32. Glue the C17 Left Side Console to the console side panel, the aft
bulkhead and the stringer. Note that the console will only contact
the stringer at the forward edge.
33. Similarly, glue the C18 Right Side Console in place.
34. Cut a ¼” piece of dowel as the throttle handle, and glue to C19.
Glue the throttle assembly into the slot in the left console.
35. Cut the lower instrument panel backing from the sheet provided.
36. Glue to the C20 Lower Instrument Panel.
37. Glue C22 Cowl Flap Crank to the C20 Lower Instrument Panel. A
spot is provided for its location in the slightly right of center upper
portion of the instrument panel.
38. Glue the C21 Landing Gear Lever into the slot on the left side of
the instrument panel. Place it in the Gear Down position.
39. Cut F18 flush with F4A. Glue F18 to F3A, F3C and F4A.
41. Cut the arm extensions from the piece that was cut from F19 and
glue them to the arm extensions of C24/C25 and the top of F6A.
The F19 extentions should overlap the C24/25 extensions and
create a notch. This notch will be the aft corner for gun hood loca-
tion.
