1. This manual will help you assemble your
Eurofighter Typhoon. Let’s start with the
installation of the main wing panels.
Apply an even coat of 5-minute epoxy to
the root of the wing panel.

2. Press into position on the fuselage side.

3. Check the alignment of the wing with the
fuselage and wipe off any epoxy that
squeezes out. A small amount of rubbing
alcohol on a paper towel works well.

4. Make sure to check the alignment on the
top of the wing to fuselage joint and wipe
off any excess epoxy. Hold in position
until the epoxy sets. Repeat this process
for the other main wing. We recommend
that you epoxy one panel at a time.

4

5. Plug in the Elevon servo and the wing tip
light. Please match the polarity. On the
servo connection, the orange wire
matches with the white wire on the plug
that exits the fuselage.

6. Feed the connected plugs into the
fuselage and carefully push the wires into
the slot in the wing and fuselage.

7. Locate the carbon rod wing reinforcement
and epoxy it in place in the groove on the
bottom of the wing panel.

8. Locate the 2 main landing gear units and
the 8 mounting screws.

9. Insert the pushrod wire into the retract
servo as you fit the retract into position
on the wing.

10. Screw the retract into position.

11. Using foam glue or epoxy, apply glue to
the groove for the drop tanks.

12. Position each drop tank and allow the
glue to set.
