Glue the two TURTLEDECK BACK-UPS, as

shown.

30. ‡ Slide the 1/32” ply TURTLEDECK back around

the fin.

Again using the spray bottle and water, soak the

top center of the turtledeck.

31. ‡ When satisfied with the fit, apply glue to the for-

mers, fuselage, fin and stab.

‡

Immediately wrap the turtledeck down onto the

fuse and tape in place until dry.

‡

When thoroughly dry, bevel-sand the plywood

edge where it overlaps the fuse. Also sand the

turtledeck front flush with Former F.

‡

As with the top front sheeting, fill the step with

JET Model Mate™ and sand smooth.

joints.

‡

Then, finish sand the entire fuse assembly with

fine grit sandpaper to provide a smooth surface

for covering.
