There are three ways to use this set:
1 replace the kit stabs like-for-like without any modification of the kit plastic
2 replace the kit stabs and replace the moulded-on cover plates with the PE
parts supplied in this set
3 replace the kit stabs and cover plates and set stabs at an angle of choice
Remove resin parts from the castinE blocks by lighly scoring the parting line with
a scribing tool a few times and then with a sharp (new) hobby knife blade.
1 ForAcademy kits: use the resin stabs instead of the kit stabs. The
alignment jig (last page) helps with setting the correct anhydral.
I recommend using spreader bars inside kit parts 01 and Upper Fuselage
to help with better fit and better look. See under topic "2".

For Hasegawa kits: remove mounting tabs
as indicated (leaving only the centre pirr)
and lightly straighten out the mating
surfaces to accomodate the straighter
Hasegawa fuselage. Use alignment jig for
setting the correct anhydral.

Assemble kit as usual, I recommend using
the upper fuselage and parts O1 and 02:
Use resin part No 1 as alignment guide for PE parts 3 (left hand) and 4 (right
hand)- slide PE parts into place and apply a small amount of superglue, taking
care not to glue the resin part. Take out resin part 1 and add guide rails, PE

Now carefully fit this jig onto the kit furelage so that the pins slot into the holes
for the stabs. Set the angle of attack at neutral and apply small amounts of
superglue, taking care not to glue resin part 4.

Remove the mounting tabs and straighten the mating surface on the resin stabs
according to instruction item "1" (see other side) and fit stabs.
3 For Academy kits: remove and smooth raised plate areas as in "2" above.
Use resin part No 1 and slide into slots
on kit part 01. Use resin parts 5 and 6
and slide over part 1 so they sit on top
of the kit plastic:
Hold the parts in place or fix them temporarily with tape, sticky glue, white
glue etc. and then scribe the outline of parts 5 and 6 onto the kit plastic.
Remove a!! resin parts and cut out the kit plastic along your scribed line (chain-
drilling is a good method for this). Smooth out the cut and test fit parts 5 and 6.
Choose your desired angle of attack and make parts 5 and 6 fit into your cutout
by trimming the corners that get in the way:

Tape the Upper Fuselage, parts 01 and 02 together and test fit your pivot block.
Slot in resin part 1 again to check if left and right sides are level and any further
adjustments or trimming is necessary (also check form above if everything is
symmetrical).
Pull out part l and glue kit parts OL, 02 and the resin pivot block together (best
use spreader bars as in instruction topic "2") and build the mode! as per kit
instructions.
Insert resin part 1 once again and assemble the cover plates as per instruction
topic "2". As you may not have your stabs in the neutral position, the plate will
be out of neutral as well, however the guide rails always remain in the same
position. Please refer to your references. Extreme examples:

Mount resin parts 5 and 6 onto resin part 4 (don't glue)
and fit the pins on part 4 carefully into the holes for
the stabs on the fuselage:
Hold assembly in place or fix temporarily with tape or sticky glue in neutral
position and scribe the outline of parts 5 and 6 onto the fuselage. Remove
everything and cut out the scribed areas (chain drilling works well). Smooth
out the cuts and test fit parts 5 and 6.

Dry fit the block into the fuselage and use resin part 1 to check for alignment,
levelling and symmetry of Ieft and right. Remove everything and build up the
fuselage as per kit instructions. Once the fuselage halves are securely glued
together, insert the pivot block using part 1 as a handle. Check alignment once
again and glue the block in place (NOT part No 1!).
After this, assemble the PE cover plates as lined out under the Academy
instructions above.
