German pilot with heinecke parachute

Before assembly, check the fit and remove the release agent with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Cut off sprues with a saw/cutter. Wear a dust mask or respiratory mask when machining to avoid inhaling dust particles.

Carefully heat warped parts (e.g. with a hairdryer) and bend them into shape. Glue with 2K or superglue. Unpainted cast parts darken over time and can turn yellow - especially when exposed to UV light.

Packaging bag (Heinecke type B): field gray; Metal eyelets with threaded wire serve as closure; Parachute cloth (looks wrinkled at the bottom of the pillow) white silk; Natural colored ropes. Another rope leads out of the bottom of the parachute bean bag and is attached to a suitable place in the aircraft. It is used to deploy the parachute when jumping off. The length is 6 meters (250mm in 1:24).
 
Cut the thicker wire to approx. 50mm, fold it into a “V” and glue it into the slot in the parachute bag (if necessary, drill out a little). Then adapt both ends to the figure and also glue them in place. Connect the two thin - straight - wires (in the original they hold the entire weight of the parachute seat cushion) to the right and left of the figure by inserting them under the thick
 wire or the carabiner hook. The
 other end is glued to the tabs
 on the parachute bag.
