Place the lid 155a onto the building board and then glue
155b and 2 times 155c on it. This ventilator cap glue onto
the base dowel 155. Sand and paint the ventilators.
Glue the mushroom ventilator 155, the liferaft 156, the
stern light 157 and the three lifebelts 158 to the model in
the positions shown on the plan.
The next stage is to prepare parts 159 - 161, which are
assembled to form the ventilators. Bevel the ventilator base
159 and the ventilator arm 160 at 45°, and solder them
together to form a right-angled joint. Apply two-pack adhe-
sive to the ventilator ring 161 and fit it on the ventilator arm.
The completed ventilators can now be glued in the approp-
riate holes in the engine room.
Locate the portholes 162 for the engine room and the
wheelhouse, place the clear lenses in them and secure
each with a drop of cyano. The portholes can now be glued
in the appropriate openings in the engine room and the
wheelhouse. They can be glased with some glasing mate-
rial from behind. Cut out the top and bottom shells of the
inflatable boat 163, and sand the joint faces flat.
Glue the shells together using cyano, and sand the joint
edges when the glue has set hard. The correct spacing
for the boat supports 164 is shown on the plan; mark the
positions on the inflatable boat and glue the supports to it.
Glue the complete assembly to the bridge deck when the
glue has hardened.
The light shaft for the engine room is assembled from
parts 165 - 167 as shown on the plan. Fix the lenses in the
portholes 168 with a drop of cyano, then glue them in the
openings in the light shaft roof 167.
The towing gear 169 can now be assembled, as described
in the instructions supplied with the set. Cut out the engi-
ne room hatch 170 along the marked lines and trim it as
shown on the plan. Cut the holes for the two portholes 171.
Cut the screwholes for the towing gear 169.
Fix the lenses in the portholes with a drop of cyano, then
glue them in the holes in the hatch. The towing gear can
now be attached to the engine room hatch using the
screws supplied.
The light shaft and the engine room hatch are next pre-
pared for fitting. First cover these areas of the deck with
polythene film to prevent the parts becoming stuck to it.
Place the deck superstructure on the boat, trim the light

shaft to fit and glue it in place. Repeat the procedure with
the completed engine room hatch; note that the towing
gear may need to be adjusted slightly, or moved forward
a little, if the rotary guide fouls the rear wall of the engine
room. You will need to loosen the screws to move it.
Completing the deck
Glue the grating 172 to the deck forward of the companion-
ways, as shown in the plan view.
Bend the hawser bars 173 and 174 to the shapes shown
on the plan, and glue them to the deck. The ABS strips are
easier to bend if you first heat them in water at about 60°C,
after cutting them to length.
Tie the tyre fenders 175 to the bulwark using short lengths
of the cord 176, threading the cords through the pre-drilled
holes. This concludes the work on the deck. The super-
structure can now be removed.
Drill a 1 mm Ø hole in the retaining block 177 and the
retaining strip 178, and fit a ring-screw 179 in each. Glue
the retaining block to the mounting plate 24, and the retai-
ning strip to the inside of the engine room 83. Connect the
rubber band 180 between the two hooks in such a way that
the superstructure can be removed, but is held tightly on
the deck under normal conditions so that it cannot shift by
itself. Connect the towing hawser to the towing hook.
Balancing, testing the working systems
Give the drive battery a full charge, then install it in the
boat.
Mark the Construction Water Line (C.W.L.) on the bow and
stern of the model; it is indicated on the plan.
Place the superstructure and winches on the boat. Fill the
bath with water, and place the model in it. It should now
float at the marked waterline, and must be upright (i.e. not
leaning to either side). If necessary, add lead ballast until it
floats exactly as described.
Secure any required ballast with two-pack adhesive, so
that there is no chance of it coming loose. Connect the
batteries and repeat the earlier test of the RC system.
When you are satisfied that everything is working properly,
you and the boat are ready for the maiden run.
