Seems that, this kit has a really weird tail hook solution, because it looks like there is a part missing. Manual accounts for all parts, but this one part is supposed to cover a large hole, which is perhaps the only noticeable flaw with this kit. Really weird.
Instead of gluing on the arrestor hook, I will snip off some plastic, and paint it, and snap it onto its location, instead of gluing it on together with this other part.

From what I can see in the instructions, the tail hook you install in step 15 consists of two parts (22 and 23) that are attached to eachother in step 9, covering the hole completely. I built an earlier boxing of this kit a few years ago and didn't encounter this issue.

This is what it looks like. Not very intuitive. 🙂 The engine also are hollow, so all a little simplistic.
Basically, one can't just place this one part in place, you have to make sure you glue one end, somehow, else the part just falls into the hollow model. 🙂

Btw, I used sprue goo inside the engine openings, where there isn't much plastic, which also helps hide the seams. I am happy with the result:

Here are some photos, but they aren't the best this late in the evening with less light, so I may take some more photos ...
