Aeronaut Victoria Manual

Victoria
Introduction:
The model should be assembled following the sequence of the stages of construction described in these instructions.
The laser-cut components are individually numbered. The manufacturing method leaves small tabs on some parts which have to
be cut away using a thin-bladed modelling knife. The dark edges of the laser-cut parts should also be rubbed off using abrasive
paper in order to obtain sound glued joints. Check that all components fit accurately before reaching for the glue, and carry out
any minor trimming required. Allow all glued joints to dry out fully before starting the next stage of construction. We recommend a
fast-setting waterproof white glue for all joints involving the wooden structure. Water-based glue allows you to make corrections
even when it is hard by moistening the appropriate area; the final coats of paint or lacquer render the joints waterproof. Take care
to prevent adhesive running onto the untreated mahogany parts and any external surfaces which will be visible on the finished
model, as the glue will show up through the final painted finish. We recommend that you apply a coat of sanding sealer (Order
No. 7666/02) to the mahogany components before gluing, and rub down lightly with 320-grit abrasive paper. The whole of the
boat - inside and out - must be given several coats of clear water-resistant boat lacquer before the model is placed in the water,
as this waterproofs the wood and the glued joints. If you have to glue parts to areas which have already been lacquered, use two-
pack adhesive for those joints.
We recommend our aero-pick
modelling pins, Order No. 7855/02, for
use throughout construction

Lay the Depron jig 0 on a flat surface, or fix it to a flat board using double-sided adhesive
1
tape.
Insert all the frames 1 - 9 in the slots in the Depron jig. Sand the front and top of the keel
10 to a 30° bevel on both sides, so that the side and bottom panels rest squarely on them.
Insert the keel 10 in frames 5 - 9, and slot the two fore-and-aft girders 11 in frames 1 - 6.
