I may have missed something, but I can't find a pic of the top blade being glued on in the official build diary.
Anyone care to enlighten me?
I'm up to issue 8 and the nose is built but top blade not glued on yet.

It's one of the last things we will get to do mate. Remember the decals need to be applied the before the wing can go on (issue 65+). Hope this helps CURRENT BUILDS

All part of the plan to keep us hooked! I think it is part of the their plan to hope we lose some pieces along the way, and make us spend even more money!

I'm wondering if we will get decals to go over the 'ready-printed' ones too, such as the 'Vodafone' and logo on the front wings, as they aren't white at all. The print is quite thin and see-through so it looks a bit washy-pink.
Also, I wonder why the nose outline colour lines weren't just printed on the part along with the other images.
Why pre-print half the graphics, and leave some off to apply as decals later on?
Roy.

Roy. I've always wondered that.

So that they can increase the number of issues?

Roy. I've always wondered that. The decals we get later are the ones that cross 2 or more panels, if they were applied by Kyosho they probably won't line up perfectly as each of us will build the car slightly differently, therefore we can apply them at the end and get them spot on.

And I can confirm that you do not fit the upper front wing until the last issue.... When you get the decals. Notice as Smeg said the nose cone decals on on before you fit the upper wing.
