Building instructions for the Hughes 500 for ECO8 & Logo 10
Congratulations on your purchase of this Kit.
With very little trouble you can convert your model into a beautiful
Hughes 500.
We do not recommend that you use any activator/accelerator with
the adhesive on this material. The heat generated by the activator
has a tendency to distort the material.
It is advisable to test all of your adhesives and paint/lacquers on a
piece of the material supplied before use.
The fuselage halves have been pre trimmed and only require to be
de burred, before joining together.
From the piece of material supplied, cut small join plates as shown
and hold in place using sellotape. The intervals are shown in the
next photograph.
Glue these plates in place using a small drop of viscous (thick)
superglue.
When dry the sellotape can be removed.
The two halves can now be joined together at regular points using
superglue, a rod should be used to exert any pressure required
from the inside on each joint. When set, run around the join with
thin superglue, and smooth the join with a palette knife.
