The support housings were glued on using the alignment tool to check the spacing.
On most models I plan ahead for masking and painting. The main body and these support housings are gloss white. The legs are orange or red. Spray them separately and glue the legs in after spray painting. No masking needed!
The engine mount is glued in using the spacing tool to set the upper centering ring depth. The bottom ring also got a glue fillet.
The body wrap pieces were cut off the card stock print piece.
TIP: Use the square corner of a single edge razor blade to press and cut the inside corners sharp and square.
I did a slight pre-curving of the body wrap pieces before the glue was added.
The pieces are a little wide, these were trimmed off down the center line of the support housing.
