Painting

• We recommend that you ask your local model shop (or specialist paint supplier) for advice on the best

types of paint to use.

• Use ONLY paints of the same type, made by the same manufacturer, otherwise they may react with each

other; dissolving the earlier coats or producing unsightly bubbles. Caution: Lexan paints are only

compatible with each other; they must never be used in combination with other types or paint or primer.

• To ensure that the paint adheres well, it is essential to sand the surfaces with fine wet-and-dry paper (600-

grit or 800-grit), then de-grease them using a non-greasy cleaning agent or white spirit. Try not to touch

the cleaned surfaces again before painting, as your skin will just apply new grease to the surface.

• Do bear in mind that parts glued to painted surfaces can only adhere as well as the paint sticks to the

model, i.e. such parts are often knocked off, tearing the paint from the model at the same time. Parts which

are exposed and vulnerable should be glued directly to the sub-surface, i.e. the paint should be scraped

off beforehand.

• Apply several coats of sanding sealer (e.g. GLATTFIX, Order No. 207) or clear lacquer (e.g. HYDRO-

AEROFIX, Order No. 926.1) to all the wooden parts to prevent them absorbing water.

• When spraying paint, take care to mask off all areas which are not to be coloured. Seal all holes, as the

fine mist of paint will find its way into any opening, no matter how small.

• Read and observe the instructions supplied by the paint manufacturer.

Colour scheme

The recommended colours are stated below with their RAL numbers, to ensure that you will be able to select

the correct hues. Armed with this information, any paint supplier will be able to produce the right colours for

you. Let your specialist paint supplier or advisor know what you intend to use the paints for, as this will help him

select the correct type. We always recommend synthetic enamels.

The colour RAL 9016 (transport white) is the ideal base colour for the model, as the decals are designed to be

applied to a white surface. However, there is no reason why you should not paint the boat in any colour scheme

you like.

Applying the decals

Cut out the individual decals neatly using a pair of sharp scissors, leaving as little margin round them as

possible. They should be applied to the model’s surface once painting is complete; all traces of dust must be

removed beforehand. To apply the large hull decal neatly, cut it out leaving virtually no margin, lay it on the hull

without removing the backing film, and move it carefully into exact position. Fix one end of the decal with a strip

of tape, then peel off the backing film in stages, rubbing the decal down onto the hull as you do so. An

alternative method is to cut the large decal into its separate colour areas, as these are easier to apply neatly.

The other decals can be positioned as shown in the kit box illustration, or applied in an arrangement of your

choice.
