The pre-covered film on ARF kit may wrinkle due to variations of temperature. Store model in a cool and dry place for awile. Then, staring with low heat, you may carefully use a hair dryer to smooth out wrinkels.

Die Bespannung des Modells kann durch Temeratureinflusse erschlaffen oder Falten werfen z.b bei zu starker Sonnenenstrahlung oder Hitze. Stellen Sie das Modell zunachst an einen kuhlen Platz fur eine bestimmte Zeit. Danach konnen Sie versuchen die restlichen Falten vorstichtig mit einem Haartrockner zu behandeln.

Using the sharp hobby knife, carefully cut away the covering inside the lines which were marked above.

* WARNING: When removing any covering from the airframe, please ensure that you secure the cut edge with CA or similar cement. This will ensure the covering remain tight.

Install the horizontal stabilizer into the fuselage and
