A "T" shaped length of plastic is supplied to make the scale launch lugs. This is one of the more difficult steps in the build.
The instructions say to use either a knife or razor saw to cut two pieces 1 15/16" long. I tried a knife but you might have better luck using a fine point razor saw.
I cut my two lug pieces a little longer than directed and sanded to the correct length using a block.
Set the back end of the template even with the rear of the lug pieces and trace the cuts with a pencil.
Notice the bottom pencil line has a chevron shaped curve. Some of the curve happens automatically because the bottom of the lug is curved to fit the body tube.
Again, I cut a little long and will sand to the correct length and shape.
The front angle is cut with a razor saw.
