Specifications

6-minute epoxy. Note the distance from the leading

edge of the wing to the end of each gun barrel.

The “belly pan” under the wing conceals the air

ducting for the supercharger. One duct carries

air from the intake in the front of the cowl back

to the supercharger (driven by the turbine) and

two smaller ducts carry exhaust gasses from the

engine to the turbine.

APPLY THE DECALS

❏

1. Use scissors or a sharp hobby knife to cut the

decals from the sheet. Where possible, round the

corners so they won’t catch and lift while cleaning

and handling the model.

❏

2. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily

ﬁ ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small

bucket with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm

water—about 1/2 teaspoon [2.5cc] of soap per gallon

of water. Submerse one of the decals in the solution

and peel off the paper backing. Note: Even though

the decals have a “sticky-back” and are not the water

transfer type, submersing them in soap & water

allows accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles

underneath.

❏

3. Position decal on the model where desired.

Holding the decal down, use a paper towel to wipe

most of the water away.

❏

4. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar

to squeegee remaining water from under the decal.

Apply the rest of the decals the same way.

Please use the following pictures as

a guide for decal placement.

One problem that occurred with the removal of the

razor spine to accommodate the bubble canopy

was tail ﬂ utter. Beginning with the D-40, a dorsal

ﬁ n was added to rectify this. The dorsal ﬁ n was also

retroﬁ tted to all previous variants still ﬂ ying.
