they will be trapped when the guns are glued in place. Check the alignment of the Machine Guns with
the Cooling Jackets being parallel looking down and side to side and adjust as needed. The guns
should have a slight angle up. Once guns are aligned as best as possible, all parts are glued in place
and Interrupter Rods in the Receiver holes add glue to the gun location pins and holes at the rear of
the guns sufficient enough to hold in place. See the pictures below. Glue the left Bullet Belt in place
and adjust if needed due to the right Ammo Chute now being in place. Note of caution: moving
forward take care not to break if the gun sights which are very fragile details.
With the Machine Guns in place now glue the two (2) Fuel/Oil Gauges carefully in place. The center
one, make sure it is fully seated adjacent to the Fuel Line in the back of the Filler Neck. The second
one is straight forward on the left side but make sure both face squarely to the rear and are plumb
vertically as much as possible.
Feed the two (2) Machine Gun Black Lines keeping them separate and parallel back to the Joystick
and glue to the sides of the little square in the center of the Joystick leaving enough slack for the
Joystick to have enough movement and still centered.
Note: now would be a good time to center the Joystick, if not already done sooner, with a thread
line left to right to aid when it comes to attaching the wing warping cables.
