|
Step 1. Attach the nose cone to the nose of the plane.
|
|
|
Step 2. Attach machine guns to the underside of the plane. |
|
|
|
Step 1. Cut the parts of the flight stand off the plastic sprue using a sharp hobby knife or a pair of hobby cutters. |
|
Step 2. Attach the stem to the flight stand base. The hard plastic of the flight stand will bond firmly with plastic cement, but you can also use superglue.
There are two sizes of stem; the standard practice is to use the shorter stem for helicopters and the tall stem for strike aircraft, to bolster the impression that they are flying at a higher altitude. But there's no reason you shouldn't use the tall stem for helicopters if you like how it looks.

Step 3. Add the magnet cap to the top of the stem. The cap fits snugly to the top of the stem, so you will only need a small amount of glue to neatly secure the magnet cap in place.
|
Step 4. The cap has a recess to hold one of the supplied rare-earth magnets, to create a solid connection between the stand and the aircraft model. The tabs at the front and back help keep the aircraft pointing in the right direction. |
|
|
Step 5. The bottom of the aircraft has a recess for a magnet and slots to match with the tabs on the cap. |
Step 6. A second magnet is the glued into the recess, making sure the polarities match. |
Step 7. Mated perfectly, the flight stand, aircraft and magnets create a solid, stable connection. |
