There are 2 each of parts 42 (MED Kit), 43 (Portable Life Support System), and 44 (Oxygen Purge System). Note that one PLSS is "hidden" on sheet 6 and numbered 46 for some reason. The 2nd PLSS is not installed in the mid section stowage assembly, but is placed on the cockpit floor at a later time.

Part 42 is a basic box so no problems there.

Parts 43 and 44 are a bit challenging to build because of the rounded corners, but othewise straight forward and well designed.

Both parts 42 are glued to the mid section stowage assembly with the little dash facing the front matching the handles of the doors of the other items on the stowage assembly. The blue square printed on parts 42 helps to identify which surface is glued to the stowage assembly, which also has a blue square printed on it.

Part 43 was glued to the stowage assembly brace bars using the white spaces on the back of the PLSS to help position them.

Parts 44 were placed on the shelves of the stowage assembly. I chose not to glue them in place since they fit very tight on their own and it might be nice to pull one off the shelf to mate it to the PLSS at a later time.

Part count to date: 61
