⚠️ Important Assembly Notes & Tips

Precision Required: This is a finely crafted skeleton model. It is not suitable for absolute beginners. Please carefully distinguish the left and right side parts (L and R markings) during assembly to avoid errors. (As noted in manual step 2 and wing instructions).

Display Stand: A rotating wooden display stand is included. You can showcase the finished model beautifully.

💡 Pro Tips for Builders:

Take your time! This model shines because of its intricate frame structure. Building it slowly and precisely will result in a stunning display piece.

Use a little bit of sandpaper to smooth any laser burn marks on the balsa wood before assembly for a cleaner finish.

Once completed, you can gently apply a coat of clear varnish to protect the wood and give it a professional museum-quality look.
