1. Assemble part 1, then insert former B2. The
former should sit just behind the cockpit area

Use a scrap of paper to make a handle.

Glue the handle to the former, then insert the
former just until it fits easily.

6. Attach Part 1 to the remainder
of the fuselage.

7. Assemble and attach the

spinner (part 5)

Note: I originally intended for the propeller to turn, I just never quite got the details finished. This
should be a fairly simple modification if you desire. A future release will incorporate this (provided I
get enough feedback to motivate me :)

8. Assemble and insert the cockpit as shown.

These tabs glue inside the

fuselage under the tabs
marked with a red X. The
tabs with the red X are used
to attach the cockpit roof
(part 10).
