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 with images of individual details. Assembly assemblies and their completion are drawn on the drawing, including small model details. The multilingual construction process provides a framework for the logical assembly of individual components.

Construction difficulty

Only experienced modelers with many years of construction experience, who have a complete overview of the issue and have mastered all the technologies and working procedures for building static model ships, should start building ship models with the construction difficulty Expert. It is also necessary to have experience with the processing of various materials, gluing, coloring and orientation in drawings and the determination of own construction procedures. The instructions here are only an orientation aid for the construction process.

These models are very comprehensive and detailed with almost museum quality, which are built by experienced modelers for months and even years.

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).

Accessories for normal ship operation

For the normal operation of a functional RC model ship, you need a special grease for lubricating the ship's shafts. The special composition ensures the smooth operation of the shaft in the Teflon tube while maintaining the maximum service life of the components. DYNE4200, DYNE4201 greases are recommended

Special tools and tools from the Shesto company will come in handy for finishing work or routine maintenance, such as pliers, tweezers, files, screwdrivers and many others, which you can find on the website www.astramodel.cz/cz/katalog/naradi-c189.html
