Assembly Instructions for the ALTONA model boat, Order No.: 2146, Id. No.: 58434
The “ALTONA” is a semi-scale model of a steam launch.
All the parts which are difficult to make, such as hull, stern, rudder, deck, superstructure, toplight and
funnel are supplied in the form of extremely high-quality GRP mouldings.
The Fittings Set includes many metal and injection-moulded plastic parts which make it much easier and
faster to complete the model.
Two possible variants can be built: for electric power or for steam engine.
The model is not suitable for the beginner to modelling, as it calls for a certain minimum level of manual
modelling skill.
For the steam-powered version some experience in handling steam engines is advisable.
Auxiliary working systems, such as lighting, steam whistle etc., can be installed; details are left to the
builder’s discretion.
