INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing ParaGrafix's photoetched enhancement set for the Moebius Models XXX. We have made every effort to ensure that
these parts can be used successfully by a modeler of modest experience, but there may be items that require advanced modeling
techniques. For a basic primer on the use of photoetch, please visit http://www.paragrafix.biz/video-instructions-1.asp and other resources
available on the web.
Materials Materials
In addition to the photoetch, you will also need scissors or a knife* to remove individual pieces from the main fret, a file to remove material
left from cutting, and super glue (aka CA or cyanoacrylate). Additionally, to fold some pieces, you will need a pair of razor blades** or a
specialty tool such as an Etchmate 3C from Mission Models.
* We prefer a #17 Xacto chisel blade.
** Extreme care must be taken when using razor blades. Risk of serious injury.

Sail
Kit Instructions Step 2 Kit Instructions Step 2
Replace kit antenna (part 54) with etch part 16A or 16B. 16A matches the as-built
studio miniature which 16B matches the studio blueprints.
Note that the antenna can be formed to give it the proper parabolic shape.
You may find it easier to anneal the piece(s) before forming.
The etch sail doors match the bolted-in-place ones used in the full
sized set. Before attaching the doors, file off the existing kits ones. If
you will be lighting your sail, you can position etch parts 10 with their
hole facing up so that light shows through.
An alternate, open door (etch parts 5 and 12) are also provided. To realistically
show the door open, you will need to cut a hole in the side of the sail.

These girders are speculative and are intended to simply
hide the hull of the ship.
Fold the two tabs on each girder and cement them at the 1/3
and 2/3 points along the ceiling of the observation lounge.
