General tip:

It is highly recommended to cut

off all flaps on curved parts and
to glue these parts from behind
with paper strips. So you will
achieve a much more pleasing
38 result.

36 Head
Use parts 30 - 32 for the left side.

Make a cylinder from part 40

and glue it inside the head
between the “eyes”. Then close
the head with part 39.

You may glue parts 10 & 11 to parts 1,
2 & 3 first and then glue everything to part 8.

Glue parts 1-3 in place. Fold the flaps on part 1 down and glue the
former part 12 in place. Use the flaps on former 12 to attach part 4. Proceed with the next
parts accordingly and use the flaps on the hull segments to hold the formers in place and the flaps
on the formers to hold the next hull segment in place.

Please note that this procedure is

not the only way. You may
choose to assemble all hull segments
first, glue the formers to the base
and then attach the completed hull.
You may also switch the position of
the flaps on the parts according
to your needs.

Glue part 20 in place. Don’t fold the flaps on part 20

and glue part 21 in place. Fold the flaps on part 21 down and glue the
former part 26 in place. Use the flaps on former 26 to attach part 22. Proceed
with the next parts accordingly and use the flaps on the hull segments to hold the
formers in place and the flaps on the formers to hold the next hull segment in place.

Fins
Parts 78 - 81 make the
top and bottom fins,
parts 74 - 77 make the
side fins.

Laminate all fin parts with cardboard.

Pre-shape them and glue them together. Cut off all excess.

Attach part 82 to
the side fins and
make a notch with
your thumbnail.

Cut a sharp angle into the laminated parts.

carve the
curved areas
slightly larger 82

Attach the fins to the engine.

Use a sharp knife to carve the
top and bottom fins to shape so
that they easily slide over parts
46 & 47.
 Greeblies
Attach all greeblies at last to prevent
them from being ripped off by accident.
