We began construction of November 16th with the first page, 20-02. This kit has a LOT more little parts, so I got two shoe boxes, a box of sandwich baggies, a magic marker, and put all the rivets and small parts into baggies and put them in numerical sequence and then stood them up in the shoe boxes; a perfect fit! It makes life a lot easier. Try to position your work just as you see it and things will go a lot smoother. In order to keep from scratching up the aluminum too much, we used a hot iron (100 watt wood burning tool with a rounded head works great) to remove strips along the area where we will be riveting and screwing, etc.
