Next up.....find the Base plate and find the "this way up" sticker, once again most of the parts are mirrored but the mounting of the steering servo requires it to be up the right way (you can see the cut-out for the servo towards the stern).
mermod:
Then locate the 2 bags labelled Albert Sub-Frame.
mermod:
These bags contain all the parts for Albert's sub-frame, pictured here are the parts for the fore deck support's.
The sub-assembly should NOT BE GLUED at this stage, it needs to remain flexible untill the whole frame is slotted into the base.
mermod:
It is extremely important to make sure these 3 supports are slotted in as shown as they support the curve of the deck.
Once the parts are slotted into place the locking pin can be slid through all 3 slots, at this stage the assembly is still a bit loose but thats OK, repeat this operation for both sides.
mermod:
The remaining fore deck frame can now be assembled, once again the locking pin slides through all 3 tabs (still no glue at this stage)
