I agree..
If apply decal 1st, it may torn if assemble suspension part later. I spent less than 3 hours to complete rear carbon decal (1.30 hours for left site).

Our model (UK Version) some already have ready paint for example for rear wing, steering wheel. (less decals compare to Japan's issues that I guess for experience modeller).

Very stress for assemble issue number 74.. As mention by Aswlee, I also found there was a gap, on "sidepod cowl part" left site.

Planning to fix the "sidepod cowl & copit, together with engine" next week. For my experience, it there was a gab, it will effecting other next issue.

Ya the tamiya cement is good but i noticed mine when it dries, it will expand abit, supposingly no gap when i press it, after dried theres a tiny gap, even all the time pressing it. Aiya. How bout yours?

Elephant glue, very secure and tight but big risk of having the white spot thingy and spoits it. Eats the paint too.

I used Tamiya ABS Cement and Tamiya Ultra thin, to avoid gab, I used masking tape, and leave it about 1 to 2 hour.
It apply to much ABS cement it will leave white spot, but can removed.

What about the "general purpose adhesive" used from issue 69 onwards? The instructions specifically said not to use ABS adhesive.

I used 5 Ton epoxy as "General purpose". U must ready masking tape.
