There are two types of screws used in this kit:

Sheet metal screws are designated by a number
and a length. For example #6 x 3/4" [19mm]:

This is a number six screw that

is 3/4" [19mm] long.

Machine screws are designated by a number,
threads per inch and a length. For example 4-40
x 3/4" [19mm]:

This is a number four screw that is 3/4"

[19mm] long with forty threads per inch.

When you see the term

test fit

in the

instructions, it means that you should first
position the part on the assembly without
using any glue
, then slightly modify or

custom

fit

the part as necessary for the best fit.

When you get to each step, read that step
completely through to the end before you
begin. Frequently there is important information
or a note at the end of the step that you need to
know before you start.

• Photos and sketches are placed before the
step they refer to. Frequently you can study
photos in following steps to get another view of
the same parts.

film. Should repairs ever

be required, MonoKote can be patched with
additional MonoKote purchased separately.
MonoKote is packaged in six-foot rolls, but
some hobby shops also sell it by the foot. If
only a small piece of MonoKote is needed for a
minor patch, perhaps a fellow modeler would
give you some. MonoKote is applied with a
model airplane covering iron, but in an
emergency a regular iron could be used. A roll
of MonoKote includes full instructions for
application. Following are the colors used on
this model and order numbers for six foot rolls.
