  Please read the Beginners Guide document included with this set before proceeding with these instructions. 
  Read this document through before beginning construction, so that you are familiar with the overall process.
  Special Printing Instructions
  Two sheets in this set need to be printed on both sides of the sheet before assembly begins. The rear side print 
  pages are identified by having an ‘a’ in the file name. Print the ‘a’ side first, then the main side last.
  
  Step 1: Cut, score and test fold the forward fuselage 
  piece as shown.
  Step 3: Glue the rear flap first and allow to dry. It helps 
  if you place this end against a flat surface so that it 
  dries flush with the side edges of the fuselage. You can 
  reach through the ‘nose’ of the tube with a thin dowel 
  or paint brush to apply pressure to the interior of the 
  tabs when gluing. Once dry, fold and glue the forward 
  flap into position.
  Step 2: Fold and glue the long tab, forming a tube 
  shape.
  Step 4: Repeat this process with the aft fuselage section 
  (shown above.) Cut, score and test fold this piece now.
  MAIN FUSELAGE
  
  Step 5: Glue the aft fuselage piece into a tube shape 
  and allow to fully dry. The proceed to glue the rear flap 
  (the one with the two white octagons on it) into place. 
  We recommend flipping this upright, and setting this 
  face on your table to ensure the edges glue flush with 
  the sides of the model.
  Step 7: The mid fuselage section builds up in exactly 
  the same way as the previous two. Cut, score and test 
  fold, then glue along the long seam first.
  Step 6: Finish the piece by gluing the forward facing 
  flap into place.
  Step 8: Finish by gluing the end flaps into place.
  
  Step 1: Cut, score and test fold the aft fuselage piece 
  as shown. This piece will eventually ‘wrap around’ the 
  interior aft fuselage piece you built previously.
  Step 3: Slip over the interior aft body as shown. The 
  rear edge of the angled slope should align with the rear 
  face of the interior piece. Make sure the side with the 
  two octagonal circles is facing rearward.
  Step 2: Glue the rear angled flap into place as shown. 
  Allow to fully dry before attempting to wrap the piece 
  around the interior section in Step 3.
  Step 4: Cut and score the engine exhaust as shown. 
  Color the rear side of these pieces with a black marker.
  AFT FUSELAGE & ENGINES
  
  Step 5: Fold into a ring and glue.
  Step 7: Glue the exhaust cans as shown.
  Step 6: Finish by gluing the rear flaps into place.
  
  Step 1: Cut, score and test fold the cockpit piece as 
  shown.
  Step 3: Glue the rear flap and allow to dry.
  Step 2: Glue the forward canopy sides as shown.
  Step 4: Cut, score and test fold the landing gear. Glue 
  the main section as shown above.
  COCKPIT & LANDING GEAR
  
  Step 5: Cut, score and test fold the gear door piece as 
  shown. ‘Double fold’ the door as shown on the piece 
  to the right.
  Step 7: Glue the three pieces together as shown. Con-
  struct all three of these gear models, then proceed to 
  step 8.
  Step 6: The ‘skid’ piece just folds in half and is glued 
  as shown.
  Step 8: When the rest of your model is finished, glue 
  the gear assembles (if you want them on your mod-
  el) over the three ‘door’ sections on the bottom of the 
  fighter. The front gear should angle forward, while the 
  two rear pieces should angle toward the rear.
  
  Step 1: Cut, score and test fold the stabilizer piece as 
  shown.
  Step 3:Once dry, cut the stabilizer out as shown.
  Step 2: Fold and glue in half, being careful not to glue 
  the outward folding tabs.
  STABILIZERS
  
  Step 1: Glue the three main fuselage components as 
  shown above.
  Step 3: Glue the upper small stabilizers into place first.
  Step 2: Glue the canopy into place, aligning the front 
  edge against the subcomponent seam as shown (should 
  just touch the first blue stripe.)
  Step 4: Glue the large stabilizers into place, and add the 
  landing gear assemblies if desired.
