GLUING
1. † Cut pilot halves apart at the bottom and trim
off scrap. Remove the bottom of the pilot just
below his neck. Gently sand the edges of
each half, so that they will be smooth for join-
ing. Carefully align the front and back pieces
and hold together with tape, as shown.

CA glue at key joint areas. When dry, remove
tape and apply a small amount of glue all
along the seam.

† Using artist's acrylics or modeling enamels,
paint the pilot to suit your fancy. WARNING:
