BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Attentions and Tips
1.Read through the manual before you begin, so you will have an overall idea of what
to do.
2. Check all parts. If you find any serious defects or missing parts, please contact your
local dealer.
3. Please build your kit in strict accordance with the sequence of the user manual.
4. Pre-Sanding:Before removing any parts from the laser-cut plywood sheet , use a
sanding block loaded with 250 - 400 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the back side of
the sheet. Which can significantly reduce burn marks of the wood and make the parts
match better
5. Before building the model part on drawings, It is recommended to cover a layer of
kitchen cling film (polyethylene film) on the drawing. This way can prevent parts from
sticking to the drawing and causing damage.
6. Parts Assembly:This product’s tabs and notches interlock like a 3D puzzle. We
strongly suggest that when fitting parts, you “dry fit”(use no glue) the parts
together first. It is advised to work 1 - 2 steps ahead in the instructions, using this
dry-fit technique. This allows the opportunity to inspect the fit and location of
assembled components, and shows the benefits of our construction technique. As
each successive part is added, it contributes to pulling the entire assembly square.
Once you arrive at the end of a major assembly sequence, square your work on a flat
work surface, and bond the dry-fit joints with glue. Using the dry-fit process, you’ll be
able to recover from a minor build mistake, and will ultimately end up with a square
and true assembly.
7.This is a precision laser-cut kit. Our lasers cut to within 0.2mm in accuracy. Yet the
wood stock supplied to us by the mill may vary in thickness by up to 0.2-0.3mm. This
variance in the wood stock can cause some tabs and notches to fit very tightly. With
this in mind, consider lightly sanding or lightly pinching a tight-fitting tab, rather than
forcing the parts together. You may break some parts in assembly, but please don’t
worry, after the final covering work, it will not affect the strength and appearance of
your model. You will end up with a circle and true airframe.
