Also you want to make sure you do a good job de-flashing and filing down all the mold lines so the airframe not only fits together right, BUT looks good on the seems that are viewable as well.
When it come to assembling this awesome aircraft, you have to be super careful with the crazy shaped airframe, and all the parts that attach to it.
Rubber bands will not always be able to stretch to aid in support while pieces dry on this model. You may have to use low tac painters tape to help hold everything together.
