the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. Note:
Even though the decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the
water transfer type, submersing them in soap & water allows
accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
❏
5. Position the decals on the model using the box photos
as a guide. Hold the decal down and with a paper towel, wipe
away all of the excess water.
❏
6. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the
rest of the decals the same way.
❏
7. Find the two dummy machine guns and their sights.
Glue the sights in place with CA.
❏
8. Position the dummy machine guns onto the ABS mid
wing cover. Sand off the base of the guns until they sit flat
and horizontal. Outline their base onto the ABS mid-wing
cover. Roughen up the paint on the mid wing cover and glue
the dummy machine guns onto the cover with CA.
❏
9. Find the 1/16" [1.6mm] wire step. Make a mark 1/2"
[12mm] away from the bend.
❏
10. Position the step on the bottom left side of the
fuselage 2" [52mm] away from the trailing edge of the bottom
wing and mark the location of the wires.
❏
11. Use a drill with a 1/16" [1.6mm] drill bit to make holes
to accommodate the step as shown. The holes should be at
an approximately 45 degree angle from the edge. Insert the
step in the holes all the way to the mark and glue it in place
with CA. Some thick CA or epoxy should be wicked on the
inside of the fuselage to strengthen the step's grip onto the
fuselage. Clean up the fuselage with rubbing alcohol.
