by three 2.2 x 6.5 mm self-tapping screws, so that it can be removed at any time. The glazing
bars should be painted in the base colour of the fuselage using the moulded-in lines as a guide.
Trim the ABS nose hatch to final size, sand and paint it, then glue it to the nose glazing with
Stabilit express once the fuselage has been painted.
1.12 Exhaust pipes
Assemble the two side exhaust manifolds from the vacuum-moulded shells supplied. Sand the
joint lines smooth and open up the end of the pipes. Trim the exhausts to fit in the machined
openings, and glue them in place from inside the fuselage once the model has been painted
overall.
The glazing set also includes the two ejectors moulded in smoked-tint plastic. Cut them down to
a length of about 24 mm (the closed end should be on the inside), and trim them to fit in the
machined oval openings in the top part of the fuselage. You will need to enlarge these openings
gradually until the ejectors fit snugly from the inside; their slight taper ensures that they will be a
tight fit at the closed end, and will therefore not fall out.
You can obtain a highly realistic finish on the exhaust pipes by painting them on the inside with
an airbrush or spray can; start with a thin (non-covering) overall coat of a copper colour, then
silver, and finally matt black.
1.13 Applying the decal sheet decals
The use of the optional decal sheet is a great help in producing a scale model with an attractive
finish. They should be applied in the arrangement shown in the illustration on the kit box.
Please note that the complex, dual-curvature contours of the fuselage do not permit the use of
large-area decals, so there is really no alternative to painting the model. To ensure that the paint
adheres well to the fuselage the base surface must be sanded beforehand using fine wet-and-
dry paper (600- to 1200-grit), used wet.
