hello guys.

I will soon start to build a fire raptor. This is an expensive and complex model, so I would like to be sure to make no error while assembling it.

Is there any tip, or particular problem or delicate step ?

FW instructions are not really detailed...

Thanks !

Korean advice: Just build it right, and it will turn out fine.

Real advice, if you are that worried see if you can find any build guides/videos online im sure some have to exist.

The hull sides are large and thick, and therefore prone to warping.

Even if you eyeball them as straight, it's worth soaking them in hot water anyway and using either the lower and upper hull plastic pieces as a guide.

Basically, getting the hull right is the key to everything, as long as it's straight and square, everything else should fall into place.

I've also left the canopy to one side, as well as the nose guns and the cockpit, to make painting easier. Built to spec, the waist turrets remain removable, but if you're going to glue them in place for security, wait until after painting for that too.

thanks Azreal !

Here's a super high quality Storm Eagle build.
