The following tools represent the basic equip-
ment for building the "COMTESSE”:
- Handicraft knife (Order No. 416002)
- Hand drill (order no. 473841)
- Sandpaper Files (Order No. 491016)

- Side cutter (Order No. 455550)
PVC adhesive tape or paper adhesive tape is
also required for masking when varnishing. In
the Krick assortment you find the suitable ad-
hesive tape e.g. order number 493269. This
adhesive tape is available in different widths.
Do not use crepe tape!
The construction of the model is facilitated by
the numerous photos of the construction
phases.
Before starting building, you should clearly
identify these parts using the parts list, building
instructions and construction plan. During the
construction process, only the parts you need
should be removed carefully and with the help
of a sharp knife.
It is much easier for you to start building ship
models if you contact an experienced model
builder. He can help you with questions and
problems and gives you the guarantee that
your own "COMTESSE" will be a working and
beautiful model. If you do not have an experi-
enced model builder in your circle of acquaint-
ances and/or friends, please contact a model
building club in your area or ask the model
building dealer from whom you purchased this
kit. In every ship model building club you will
find active ship model builders who will be
happy to help you
We wish you much pleasure with the following
construction of your model.
It is important for the bonding of laser parts
that the burn-off at the laser edges is grinded
off. These burnt edges do not bond with adhe-
sives of any kind.

General instructions for the construction
process
The numbering of the parts essentially corre-
sponds to the sequence of the construction
process, whereby the number in front of the
point indicates the construction stage and the
number behind the point indicates the corre-
sponding component. Before the start of con-
struction, please obtain an overview of the
respective construction steps in conjunction
with the building instructions and the plan, the
instruction steps and the parts list.
Prime all wooden parts once or twice with pore
filler before installation. Sand with fine sandpa-
per after each coat. Roughen the adhesive
surfaces with sandpaper before gluing.
