FINAL ASSEMBLY
1) If you want to draw on the control surfaces, do so
now using a fine marker or strips of black paper
referring to the chain dashed lines on the plan.
2) If you want to cover or paint bare wooden parts
such as the wheels, etc. do so now. This is much
easier when the parts are not fitted to the model.
3) Assemble the propeller to the nose block using
the wire hook as shown on the plan. Make the
shaft as short as possible.
4) Glue the wings in position applying glue to all
of the contact surfaces and ensure that the wing
locates properly and they look square and true
to the fuselage.
5) Glue the tail plane in position making sure it is
square, true and in line with the wings,
6) Glue the fin and rudder in place, ensuring it is
properly located on K5 and the stern post and
that it is at right angles to the tail plane.
7) Fit the cockpit canopy by very carefully
trimming the flash and back end from the
moulding provided (curved nail scissors are
handy here). The canopy can be secured with
tiny drops of cyano, but do not use too much or
the fumes will ‘fog’ the plastic.
8) Carefully slit the tissue between R2 and R2A
and fit the undercarriage legs with quick setting
epoxy, angling them correctly.
9) Markings are provided on lightweight paper.
They should be cut out and glued in position
with a glue stick using the colour scheme
diagram (Y) included at the back of this booklet.
10) Fit the motor peg made from the dowel
provided, cutting it to length leaving about 5mm
sticking out each side. Use a pin dipped in cyano
and rolled round the peg hole to harden it, trying
the stick for a good ‘squeaky’ fit each time you
add more cyano. BE CAREFUL! - Wait for the
cyano to dry at each stage before trial fitting
the stick to avoid it being permanently bonded!
