Parts 104 & 142 are glue strips that need to be put on (the top of) parts, 206 & 211 so that you can attach parts 67 & 105 (after you have assembled parts 67-87 & 105-127 into their respectable sum-assemblies)
Detailed Thunder Fighter Project
- Thread starter Rhaven Blaack
- Start date
Unfortunately, the pictures do not show it, but it is a glue strip that helps hole parts 206 & 211 to parts 67 & 105.
The flat side is attached to the (inside) top of 206 & 211. The toothed side is what holds (the bottom) parts 67 & 105 to parts 206 & 211.

If you take a close look at the parts pages you will see that Martin has sort of grouped the parts. The layout tells you which parts belong together. Follow the shape of the parts to see which end goes where. All untextured parts are either formers or (if they have teeth 
) glue tabs. Using separate parts as glue tabs makes the finished product look much smoother and cleaner.

This is a small update.
I have attached the cockpit interior to the upper skin.
The upper skin is attached to the main body of the plane.
The main console is now in place.
Now to work in the rear end and add greebles!!!

Is the basic thunderfighter in the resource section? if so in what section? I lost all the plans I had when my last puter died.
No, the Thunder Fighter templates are not in the RESOURCE Section.
You can find the (basic) Thunder Fighter templates (as well as the rest of the add-ons) here: http://www.paperaviation.de/
The actual templates can be found here: http://www.paperaviation.de/Thunderfighter/thunderfighter.html
ENJOY!!!
YEP, by all means!
Things have a way of disappearing!
True, but not when RB and I are involved!
Here is an update of the aft end.
As you can see, I have raised a few of the panels and made of the components look a little more "3-D".
Next up is the exhausts!

Here are the exhausts. I added all of the detail that I could and made them as close to screen accurate as possible.
The Exhausts are now attached!
Now on to the landing gear and wings.

The nose cones are attached to the sponsons. I also added the blue strip on the front. I know that it may not be canon, but I think that it finishes the look of the plane nicely.
Here are the finished photos!!!
ENJOY!!!
