Fuselage construction:
We start with the construction of the fuselage centre section. (part 500)
Glue the 4/2 pieces together on an absolutely level building surface. Use white glue, because it fills the small gaps better. (Note: use Aliphatic glue, the yellow stuff from Titebond. Get it here: http://www.axminster.co.uk/titebond-titebond-original-wood-glue-prod22581 )
An absolute level construction of part 500 is important, because this part serves as the reference for all the other dimensions and angles of the plane. After adding glue to both parts, gently push them together. Make sure the parts are joined accurately, you could use a credit card or something like that to push the parts down and scrape off any excess glue. Do the same for all other ’500′ parts. (Hint: put some cling film under the parts, otherwise you glue them to your building board! It also helps to draw a long straight line on your building board, to help position the centre section. It’s wood, there will always be some deviation from perfect, so you have to be sure that you get it right!)
Use the same procedure for the sides, parts 501. Part 501 consists of 10/6 sections, 5/3 for each side. A LEFT and a RIGHT side!
Do make absolutely sure that the top line of the sides is perfectly straight, since this will be joined to the 500 centre section. (Hint: B&Q sell various alu angles/tubes. Try to get a square 2 meter length (2 pcs is better) and some other angular stuff. These come in handy during construction.)
We are going to add formers 502 and 506 to keep the sides aligned, so it’s better to prepare 502 by glueing the 1 mm plywood parts on the front and rear side now.
(Note from the translator: I am not 100% sure at this point, but I think that the description for the building process applies to both the big and the smaller version of the kit, hence the references to 10/6 sections. 10 would be for the large one, while the smaller one has 6 parts. )
When the glue has dried (next day!) the sides can be glued to the centre section.
