  • Building a FE. 2B

    Here are the details of how I assembled my Skytrex FE. 2B.

    1. Cut out parts from sprue and fettle.
    2. Drill holes for struts in undercart and prop shaft.
    3. (Check alignment in top and bottom wing holes as all are not marked accurately.)
    4. Glue front center struts to bottom wing and check for vertical. (Use top wing to act as template.) Then do same for rear struts.
    5. Glue rest of struts to bottom wing in pairs. Wait for glue to set before next pair is attempted.(Check each pair with top wing as template as before.)
    6. Position top wing and airframe to lower wing. Do NOT glue air frame at this point, but glue in struts to top wing. This allows the adjustment of the airframe later.
    7.Position tail plane, true up airframe, and glue to upper and lower wings.
    8. Position and glue tail in place.
    9.Position and glue tail skid.
    10. Add undercart and wheels, and glue.
    11. Position gunner and prop but do not glue. (easier to paint seperate.)
    12.Undercoat aircraft. (I used matte white spray.)
    13.Paint all parts.
    !4. Glue gunner and prop in place.
    !5. Add descals. (Dom's are a better size match than the wing ones supplied.)
    16. Varnish to taste. ( I used A satin spray)
