Issue 39 - Contains the front underbody and the right & left underbody panel covers; and has instructions for Stage 4 of assembling the underbody - fitting the panel covers and joining the underbody sections. Fitting the panel covers - Take the left front underbody panel cover and test fit it into the matching recess in the underside of the front underbody, when you are familiar and happy with the fit glue it into place and repeat at the opposite side with the right front underbody cover. Joining the underbody sections - Take the underbody assembly completed at issue 38, and test fir the front underbody ensuring that the whole of the long joint engages correctly and that the underbody is flat. When you are familiar and happy with the fit, separate the parts and then glue/fix them together. It is very important that you keep the underbody straight and flat, you can use masking tape to hold the two sections together, but ensure that the underbody remains flat and leave undisturbed for at least an hour, and ensure that the glue has set before removing the tape. That's it for this week, carefully store the underbody. Future issues: Issue 40 - Contains the front underbody centre cover and bargeboard stays, and has instructions for Stage 5 of the underbody - Attaching the underbody centre and bargeboards.
