Make the two sheet feedthroughs from parts
4.10 to 4.12.
Fig. sheet feed-through
Glue the stop ring 4.12 onto the sleeve 4.10
and then glue in a tubular rivet from above and
below.
Fig. sheet feed-through in the cockpit
Mark and drill in the middle of the cockpit, 10
mm from the top edge, the hole for the main-
sail sheet feed-through (sheet from the winch
to the mainsail). If necessary, file a little at the
edge of the cockpit cut-out in the hull so that
there is enough room for the sheet feed-
through.
Glue the two bushings in place. Here
superglue can be used.
Fig. sheet feed-through jib sheet and mast foot
Also glue the mast foot part 4.18 into the hull.
Now we can paint the model. To do this, align
the model in the stand so that the nose tip is
33 cm high.
Fig. Align bow
Now draw a line 25 cm high, as waterline.
Mark waterline
You can use the waterline marker (order no.
473780) for this purpose.
You can now, depending on what you want to
paint first, mask the corresponding area of the
hull and paint the rest. Note, that it is advisable
to paint the light colour first and then the dark
one.
The sliding hatch and the cockpit are painted
separately.
