Wing Mounting - Model Tech Fun Fighters P-51 ARF Assembly Instructions Manual

step 4: checKing the Wing center-section joint
❑ Once the epoxy has fully cured, remove the masking tape and double-check the center-section joint. If any gaps are present, mix
a small quantity of 30 minute epoxy and carefully fill any remaining gaps.
IMPORTANT Do not omit this procedure. The wing panels should fit together tightly, but it's possible to have some small gaps
that appear after the epoxy has cured. To make the wing center-section joint as strong as possible, it's important to fill any gaps.

❑ Carefully measure and draw a centerline mark on the back edge of the
radiator scoop.
❑ Place the radiator scoop on the bottom of the wing and align it. When
aligned properly, the centerline you drew on the back edge of the radiator
scoop should be lined up with the centerline of the wing (the wing glue joint)
and the back edge of the radiator scoop should be even with the trailing edge
of the wing.
❑ When satisfied with the alignment, hold the radiator scoop firmly in place
and aligned using a couple of pieces of masking tape.
