Troubleshooting

Difficulty aligning biplane wings

Use a wing jig or careful measurement to ensure proper dihedral and stagger before the glue fully cures.

Decals not sticking correctly

Ensure the surface is glossy before application and use a decal setting solution like Micro Sol to help it settle.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly detailed engine and cockpit internals
  • Precise 1:32 scale dimensions
  • Includes two historically accurate decal options
  • Excellent representation of a legendary training aircraft

Cons

  • Paints and glue not included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure you have a dedicated workspace with good lighting and appropriate plastic model cement. This kit is not a snap-fit model, so high-quality hobby nippers and a sharp X-Acto knife are necessary for removing parts from the sprues. When applying decals, use a high-quality decal setting solution to ensure they conform to the curved surfaces of the fuselage. Store the finished model in a dust-free display case to protect the delicate wing struts and landing gear assemblies.
