7. Instructions
General notes:

Keep to the drying time for the glue, otherwise you may have difficulties. Other parts can be made whilst the glue 

is drying.

Use white glue, check that any glue you use does not melt the styropor / Depron foam.

Use a block and glasspaper for sanding all flat surfaces (sanding block is not included)  Use an all purpose glue 

to fix the sandpaper to a block.

Tick off the steps as you go along

The shortened form 'Sk' means sketch. A number in brackets (4) means part eg.4

Use mapping pins, most normal pins will bend or break under pressure!

7.1 Fuselage

7.1.1 Assemble the building plan (Pages 15/17/19/3 pages) by cutting the plans along the broken lines and sello-

tape them together.

Note:

  Note the markings

7.1.2 Cut out the pattern for the nose (see plan) and using dabs of glue fix it to the 8mm plywood. Drill the 3mm 

hole for the front dowel (6)

7.1.3 Carefully saw out the shape of the nose. Do not forget the 20mm and 25mm lead chambers (The openings 

for the chambers will be drilled later)

7.1.4  Cut out the pattern for the nose cladding (2/plans) and trace it twice on to the balsa wood sheet, cut out the 

shapes with a modelling knife.

7.1.5 Start by firstly gluing on one side of the cladding (2) and then the other

    Apply the white glue in a circular motion to the nose (1). Make sure the edges that the edges are particulary 

well covered. Rub the cladding on to the nose until the glue starts to 'pull' then press it into the final position 

once more!
