Required Parts

• Front windscreen

• Support (2)

• Fuselage hatch

Required Tools and Adhesives

• Hobby scissors

Step 1

Use hobby scissors and a hobby knife to trim the side

windows from their sheets. Leave a 1/8" lip to glue the

windows to the fuselage.

Step 2

Test fit the windows from the inside of the fuselage. Trim

them as necessary so they fit flush to the outside of the

fuselage. Use canopy glue to secure the windows into the

fuselage. Install the window into the fuselage hatch at this

time as well.

Note: You can use epoxy as well, but be

very careful not to get epoxy on the nice clear

windows.

Step 3

Cut and fit the two supports to the fuselage. Use medium

CA to glue them into position.

Step 4

Test fit the front windscreen into position. Trim as

necessary. Use canopy glue to secure the front

windscreen to the fuselage.
