If exposed to direct sunlight and/or heat, wrinkels can appear. Storing the
model in a cool place will let the wrinkles disappear. Otherwise, remove
wrinkles in covering film with a hair dryer, starting with
low temperature. You can fix the corners by using a hot iron.
Bei Sonneneinstrahlung und/oder Wärme kann die Folie erschlaffen bzw. Falten

1- Using a pencil, mark the center of the brace.
2- Trial fit the wing joiner into one of the wing panels. It should insert smoothly up to the center line marked above.
3- Slide the other wing half onto the dihedral brace until the wing panel meet. If the fit is over tight, it may be necessary to
lightly sand the dihedral brace.
4- Check for the correct dihedral angle.
5- Mix up some 30 minute epoxy and apply a generous amount of epoxy into the wing joiner cavity of one wing half.
6- Coat one half of the dihedral brace with epoxy up to the center line. Install the epoxy-coated side of the dihedral brace
into the wing joiner cavity up to the center line, marking sure that the “V” of the dihedral brace is positioned correctly
7- Do the same way with the other wing half.
8- Carefully slide the wing halves together, ensuring that they are accurately aligned. Firmly press the two halves
together, allowing the excess epoxy to run out. Clean off the excess epoxy with paper towel and kerosene.
IMPORTANT: Please do not clean off the excess epoxy on the wing with strong solvent or pure alcohol, only use
kerosene to keep the colour of your model not fade.

Ensure that the fuel tank clunk does not touch the rear of the fuel tank.
Checking for leaks - block the vents and blow
into the feed - if in doubt submersing the tank
in a blow of water will show up any problems.
Carefully install the fuel tank to ensure that they will not

IMPORTANT: Flying your model at these throws will provide you with the greatest chance for successful first flights.
If,after you have become accustomed to the way the P-51 flies, you would like to change the throws to suit your taste
that is fine. However, too much control throw could make the model difficult to control, so remember, “more is not always
better”.

Note: Cut out the stickers and apply them in the proper area. Do not

Peel off one corner of the backing and cut off with scissors.
Arrange sticker on model and when satisfied adhere the corner
without backing.
Carefully peel back the rest of the backing while at the same
time adhering the rest of the sticker.
Try not to make air bubbles, if there are some, carefully
puncture sticker (center of bubble) but not model surface with
the tip of the knife or sharp pin and squeeze out the air.
At curves stretch sticker and apply a little heat so that no ceases
occur.
Cut off the excess that is produced.
