# 8242 is called a "Profi-pack” and has the bells & whistles "Profi” is short for "Professional” and is meant for the collector or serious modeler. First, I plot all the rigging lines and strut locator holes found on page 7 of the instructions. Planning ahead using references and plan views will ensure your success. Pre-drill all pilot holes for each end of the struts and the rigging wires. Note also plastic parts are labeled "PP”, photoetch are "PE”.
