A Remove the wing, tailplane and fin from the fret and remove all burrs from the

attachment tabs.

B Gentle curve the ribs of the wings downwards as shown in Figure 1.

C If it is intended to cover the model with the Litespan film, cover the fin and

tailplane at this stage (it will be much simpler than trying to cover them on an

assembled model).

D Remove the body support from the fret and remove any burrs. Make sure that it

will fit onto the outstretched arms of the figure in the kit, then attach it to the

central wing structure. If the loops will not fit over the arms, make the oval loops

more circular with a pointed tool ( for example as a scriber).

E Attach the boom of the fin to the wing structure. Make sure that it is vertical when

you attach it.

F Slide the tailplane down over the fin and attach it to the lugs on the fin.

G Cover the wing with Litespan film if required, then attach the two kingposts to the

wing structure.
