These instructions are laid out along what we consider the most efficient/logical construction flow, your approach may differ
In case of warped parts, please see our straightening methods here
Kit parts preparation
- Glue together parts C1/C19 and C2/C20
- Cut them using a fine saw along the aft panel line:
Prepare the parts
Cut off the shells supports but not totally (see below)
Paint the inner pipes in steel color and weather them
Paint the external shells in the aircraft colour, especially the inner faces
Assemble pipes and shells
Assemble the pipes in the shells, making sure the pipes rest securely inside the shells
Sand down the rest of the shells support so that the shells are flush with the pipes rear plate
Assemble this subassembly with the kit engine nacelles
Finally, assemble the scoops under the nacelles
