During the course of building your model, we suggest
you use a soft base for the building surface. Things like
a foam stand, large piece of bedding foam or a thick
bath towel will work well and help protect the model
from damage during assembly. This is not shown in the
instructions to provide the greatest detail in the photos.
When referencing directions (up, down, left,
right, top and bottom), these directions are in
relationship to the pilot sitting in the cockpit
of the aircraft unless noted otherwise.
