Once the majority of the fuselage had been completed, the next part of the kit arrived, designated the Finishing Kit. This consisted of some of the larger parts of the aircraft, such as the undercarriage and canopy. Before fitting these items, I had completed the brake assembly, and now installed that in the bottom front of the cockpit. Another task was to fit the autopilot servos.One of the bigger tasks was to fit the main undercarriage, and nosewheel assembly. Once this was done, completeing the fittting of the brakes and wheels came next.

The major task of test fitting the wings was a nervous time, making sure that everything came together as it should, and fitting the flap/aileron controls. This took a bit of fettling, as the skins from the wings initially fouled against the fuselage sides, but some dressing with a file soon sorted that out. Fitting of the wing pins also required sosme adjustments to the skins.
