Attach a 2-by-4 stud plate with a ball joint socket to the center of a 4-by-6 foot brick, with the socket pointing toward the back. Place the 2-by-2 stud angled foot accents on top, and a 1-by-2 stud double-angled overhang plate in front. Make two of these units.
Place the two foot pieces side-by-side, and attach them at the back to the narrow tip of a 2-by-4 plate. Place two 1-by-2 bricks behind that, and then a 1-by-2 brick with a Technic hole on the side. Cover the top of this with a 2-by-3 stud plate and a 2-by-1 vent plate.
Place two 2-by-6 stud plates side by side, with the long edges touching each other and facing you. Join the the platform using two black 2-by-2 plates on either end. Attach black 1-by-2 plates in front of those.
Connect a 1-by-4 stud brick to the inner edges of the black plates. The last stud on both bricks should hang off the front. Place a 2-by-4 brick across the back of this platform. Attach two 2-by-2 L-shaped bricks so they hook around the two side bricks.
Place a 1-by-2stud brick between the L-bricks to form the back of the cockpit. Attach a 1-by-2 vent plate to the top of this, and a 1-by-2 plate on either side.
Attach two 1-by-2 bricks with side pegs to either end of a 2-by-6 plate. Place a 1-by-2 stud brick with a side hole in the center at the back. Place two 1-by-2 bricks between these pieces. Place this on the back of the platform and attach it to the end with two 2-by-2 stud plates.
Flip the model over. Place a 1-by-2 brick with a side peg at the front and center of the cockpit, and then attach the 2-by-3 upward angled brick to platform, behind the side peg.
Insert a black peg into the side of a double-ball-jointed 2-by-2 brick. Attach two 1-by-1 bricks with side knobs on the top front, so the knobs point away from each other. Put a 1-by-2 vent piece on top of them. Place a 1-by-2 brick with a side hole at the back and cover the gap with a 2-by-2 brick with two side-mounted pegs.
Insert a blue peg-rod pin into the back of the engine unit. Attach the 2-by-2 tall, round brick on this piece. This becomes the engine. Clip the two hooks pieces to the side pegs, so that they hang near the engine block. Attach the two ball joint bricks with tube-shaped sockets on the back, pointing backward. Place the blue, angled plates on top of these, pointing away from the engine.
Stack 2-by-4 double-angled bricks on top of 2-by-4 wing bricks. Attach these to the front corners of the cockpit, with the narrow parts facing the front of the model and the backs butting against the L-bricks.
Attach the two 2-by-1 hinge plates to each other, then connect it to the bottom of the fender plate. This is a plate with a 2-by-1 and a 2-by-2 section attached by two bars. Attach this to the two feet pieces at the front of the model.
Insert two black pins into a piece of ribbed tubing. Attach these to the 120-degree beams to create an upper cockpit brace. Attach this piece to the 2-hole beam using the 2-stud rod and two spacers. Attach this to the back of the cockpit piece.
Build an arm using a 2-by-2 socket joint piece, and a 2-by-3 socket joint piece. Place a 2-by-1 double-angled plate with an overhang on the 2-by-2 brick. Build two units.
Attach the arm units to the front piece and to the back of the cockpit. Clip the cockpit to the peg on on the front piece and bend the arm pieces so they go around the model.
Clip the engine unit to the back of the cockpit.
Build a gun using a Technic rod and the double pin connector. Attach this to the bottom of the right-hand arm. Clip the two angled shin accents to the 3-by-3 bricks on both arms.
