Main cautions:

The model is rather labour -intensive and hard in build. Before gluing get familiar with the model, the assembly drawings and the description of the build.

-Elements marked * should be glued properly:

-* ............................................- pad

-** ............................................-cardboard 0,5 mm

-*** ..............................................-cardboard 1 mm

- .............................................-roll into a tube

-P ............................................... –right side

-L ..................................................-left side

-G ………………………………..the top

-D………………………………….the bottom

- ................ –fold into half and tighten with a wire

- .................-fold into half and glue

-W .........................................................-cut out

The red color indicates patterns which can be made in your spare time with the help of wires. The colors which should be used to paint the patterns are described in the models description. The edges and unprinted surfaces should be painted with properly chosen colors. The order of the numbered pieces is not consistent with the order of the models build. Use the rule „TRY ON THREE TIMES AND THEN GLUE”.

The models build.

The process of the gluing is shown on drawings 1-7. Begin the build of the model from gluing the skeleton. Glue to the floor piece 1 the right wall 1A with its equipment. The fuel pumps conduit should be painted grey and the stick should be painted black. Glue frame piece 2 as well as the floor and the rudder bar, glue to the rudder bar grey control cables, then glue the ammunition box. Glue the control stick with grey cables. Paint the rudder bar and the control stick black. Make holes in frame 2c through which control cables should be pushed. Glue the seat. Glue the entire finished piece to the skeleton and then glue the control cables. Glue the left wall with the compass and gas lever. Paint piece 5C grey. Glue frames 1D, 1B and 3D. Roll piece 2D onto a wire which will be the engines axle and then glue from the inside. Glue piece 1C as well as the remaining pieces of the skeleton. The ready skeleton should be grinded before gluing over it the sheathing. Glue piece 9A. Begin gluing the sheathing to the bottom, the tails side as well as piece 11A, then glue the side sheathing. In the spaces where the wings should be glued, the sheathing ought to be pressed. Glue the tail plane as well as the top part of the fuselages sheathing. Glue in the cabins opening piece 22B which is cut along the brown conductors insulation. Glue the tail skid, the engines side and the undercarriage pieces 16-17. The wheels piece 18 ought to be grinded and painted black. Glue the engine as according to the drawings, piece 14E and 14G paint grey and piece 14F paint copper. The axle piece 13H paint grey. The engine should rotate as well as the propellers on the axle piece 13H. Glue the engines shield. Glue the bottom and central airfoil and join them with angle struts pieces 23ACD. Glue the skid piece 29 and the tail assembly. Glue onto the central airfoil pieces 22 and 22A and to it glue the guns. Glue the angle struts piece 24 and 23BCD and to it glue the top airfoil as well as the ailerons. All the wires which are fixed on the steer and ailerons paint red. Glue the propellers. In the end the ready model should be varnished with colourless matt varnish.

WE WISH GREAT FUN!!!
