I've just started building this kit. It contains a few parts I can't identify:


Some of this PE fret looks like a seat belt, but what are parts 2-5?


and what are these wires? Brake lines?

None of these are mentioned in the instructions...

2 looks like a compresion link for the nose U/C
3 ditto for the main U/C legs
4 an early type of ejection seat handle, in this case more likely for ejecting the forward capsule.
5 I can not see 5.
As to the wires I have no idea.

Cats are not real. 
They are just physical manifestations of collisions between enigma & conundrum particles.

Any aircraft can be improved by giving it a SHARKMOUTH!

I'd say the fret has nothing to do with the M.52.

The Wooksta!

I've got the kit somewhere in the loft at me Mam's (I *think*...) and IIRC, most A&V kits have a generic etch fret.  TBH,

I'd be more worried about the thick, railway sleeper type wings.
