Step 7 in the instructions have you build up the raceway on the model, then sand the ends "to a point". This is when I steered away from the instructions. I couldn't see how you could sand and form the raceway ends after they were glued to the body.
I taped the pieces down to a countertop keeping all in line.
See the next #8 post to understand why.
This is the rear R1 piece pressed in between the wing and rudder. Don't glue the ends to the wing and rudder yet.
Butt the forward R2 piece against the front of the wing, no glue.
Just the top of the raceway (the original kit included a rounded raceway top) is glued to the R1 and R2 pieces. Don't glue the top raceway piece to the wing and rudder, glue only to the R1 and R2 pieces underneath.
Do your best to line up the sides of the R1 and R2 even with the sides of the long upper raceway piece.
