Modell-Tec MS Conny 1:25 kit

RC and static model

The kit is designed as a static model, but has all cutouts ready for installation of the drive and electronics. Drive and tie rod parts must be purchased separately.

Cover with a photo of the finished model

The stylish box with a photo of the finished model is carefully, tastefully and qualitatively graphically designed and contains the name, technical data and scale of the model.

What you will find in the package

After opening the lid of the box, you will find wooden parts of the plywood model, a set of moldings, small parts sealed in bags, a set of drawings and a manual.

Set of drawings

The set contains a complete set of drawing documentation of the model in a 1:1 scale with images of individual details. The drawing shows to scale the assembly assemblies, their completion, including masts and booms and the method of tying the rigging. The multilingual construction process provides a framework for the logical assembly of individual components.

Brand Modell-tec

The Norwegian company Modell-tec offers wooden model kits of ships from the Scandinavian region, mainly fishing or transport ships. The kits are intended for moderately experienced and more experienced modelers. It means having some skill and knowledge of leveraging different materials, adhesives, paints and varnishes. The kit mainly contains basic building material, building materials and a number of small or miniature parts and decorations. However, this work will give you an insight into the secrets of ship construction.

Construction difficulty

Advanced ship models require previous experience with building models and mastered techniques of individual technological steps, such as gluing, bending, hemming of sails, etc. It is necessary to familiarize yourself with the drawing documentation, individual steps and plan the entire procedure. It is necessary to study the possible details and it is necessary to take into account that the construction requires a certain degree of creativity and independence, because the instructions do not have to deal with the production of every detail.

The models are extensive and detailed, take a long time to complete and require a lot of finishing work on the parts.

Modeling tools and mat

Building model ships requires the right tools. We recommend an excellent set of Modelcraft tools for ship modelers (set of 12 pieces), or Modelcraft tools for modelers (set of 18 pieces). We also recommend the purchase of nylon clamps and indispensable modeling pins. We recommend a modeling mat for editing, precise cutting, gluing parts and also as table protection.

Glue and paint

When building model ships, we can encounter the gluing of various materials, such as wood, plastic, metal, foil, laminate, etc. Each material is glued with specific adhesives. Wood can be glued with Speedbond PVA dispersion glues, but it should not be used in places with more permanent water exposure. Epoxy adhesives are used for that case: Speed Epoxy II 4 min. Instant glue can be used for smaller areas. Plastics are glued together either with instant glue, and in the case of smaller parts, Roket Max instant glue thick. When it comes to large parts, such as a large hull deck, Roket UV glue 20g can be recommended. Metal and laminate can be glued with Epoxy glues.

We recommend acrylic enamel paints for coloring. Apply colors with quality brushes (flat brushes for surfaces, round brushes for details).
