GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

We recommend that you carefully read this manual and instructions before starting to build the model and that you become familiar with the sequence of construction and the different parts that conform the airplane, according to the ilustrations and photographs that we have provided.

All the parts on the sheet wood are laser cut. They are very easy to remove by cutting the micro-joints that retain them. Do not try to pop them out but instead, cut each micro-joint until the part falls free. In very few cases the laser may not have cut all the way through. Simply free the part by cutting over the line with a razor or an X-Acto knife.

Lightly scrape the surfaces that are mated (to be glued) with a razor or fine sandpaper to remove the charred dust.
Cover the working table with a film or other material to avoid the pieces to stick to it.
