ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS PRINZ EUGEN
A-B-C. On a flat, stable surface glue pieces A1 and A3, and reinforce the joint with pieces A2 and A4. Following the alphanumeric order, insert and glue the parts as shown in the figures.
Before gluing the frames together, check that they fit correctly into position by "butting" them into the corresponding sockets in the false keel. It is important that the frames are fitted
completely perpendicular to the false keel so that the decks fit properly afterwards. Use white glue (Ref.19200).
D. Cut to size and glue reinforcement pieces D1 and D2. Use a cutter to rough out the reinforcements. Draw a longitudinal line dividing deck D3 into two halves. Then draw transverse lines
every 30 mm starting from the front of the deck. Glue the decks onto the structure and continue the lines until the end of the structure is reached. For this operation use white glue
(Ref.19200).
E. Cut the planks and highlight their edges with a pencil. Start planking the deck by fitting the first plank to the pencil line shown in the picture. Glue the planks tightly together so that the
joints are not visible. Use contact glue (cobbler's glue) as adhesive. Press the sheets against the deck so that they adhere firmly. Then cut off any excess using a box cutter. Sand the deck to
a fine, even surface. Afterwards, remove the dust from sanding and apply a couple of coats of satin varnish, (Ref.19209), sanding between coats.
F. Cut out the figures F1 and glue them to the end frame of the skeleton. Turn the hull upside down and start sanding starting from the stern and working towards the bow. The
reinforcements and the edges of the frames must be roughened without deforming their original shape. It should be sanded down to the curves shown in F1. The hull must be sanded
symmetrically; that is, the right side must be identical to the left side.
For the central area of the hull, use a sanding block with a larger surface area. Sanding should be progressive and
smooth. In the bow area, start sanding from the bow and work your way aft. Use a batten to check that the sanding is correct. To do this, you must slide the batten over the frames to see
how it fits their shape.
G-H-i. Start the hull planking using the G1 pieces. If the planks are too dry and break when bent, soak them in water for about 20 minutes. This will make them flexible. Afterwards, dry them
with a cloth. You must glue the first batten from the bow to frame 11, using white glue, (Ref.19200). Then fasten it using A pins. Glue another G1 batten to continue the first one to the stern of
the hull. The remaining planking must be glued to the frames and to each other with white glue and pinned. Continue gluing planking from bow to stern to cover the entire hull. You will need
to cut the pieces to size and adjust them to fit the holes. Offer up parts H2, H3 and H4 to the hull to see how the planking should fit. If there are any loose planks at any point, you can apply
quick-drying glue. If any of the planks are recessed, glue another one on top and then sand them. File the pinheads with a flat file until they are flush with the planking. Dilute a little white glue
with water so that you can apply it gently and it seeps between the joints of the planks. Set the hull aside until the glue dries. This will bind the hull lining and make it stronger. Then sand the
entire hull. It should be smooth and even.
J-K-L. Apply contact glue (cobbler's glue) to the area of the hull shown in the pictures. Glue the planking strips J1. You must join J1 strips to complete the total length of the hull. Cut the
planking to size according to need. Press the planks so that they adhere firmly. Place parts J2 on the deck and secure them with painter's tape. These pieces will be the guide for fitting the
J3 pieces. Sand one side of the J3 parts and apply contact adhesive. Glue the fitted parts J3 to parts J2. When the adhesive has dried, remove the J2 parts from the deck. Fit and glue parts
H2, H3 and H4. Then complete the hull planking and fit it to these parts. Sand a K4 strip and soak it in water to make it flexible. Use a cylindrical object to bend it. Make a gauge out of the K5
pieces. Mark the waterline on the hull with the gauge. For this operation, place the hull on a flat and stable surface. Apply crack-cover putty, (Ref.19143) to the entire hull and when dry sand
it; it should be smooth to the touch. Repeat the same operation until a fine finish is obtained. Apply primer,
(Ref.19142) to the entire hull and sand again.
M-N. Cut out the templates and glue the parts obtained as shown in the pictures. Offer up the templates to the hull and pin them using A pins. Use an awl to mark the centre of each hole on
the hull. Then drill all the holes. Proceed in the same way on the other side of the hull. Insert and glue an N1 piece into each hole. Make and fix the N2 parts to the hull. To find its position,
stick pieces of masking tape as shown in the pictures. Drill the holes and glue the parts as shown in the pictures.
O-P. Sand the back of the brass parts and glue them with white glue, (Ref.19200). Mask and protect the top of the hull with masking tape and paper. Paint the lower part of the hull with dark
red paint, (Ref.19383). You can use a brush, spray or airbrush for this operation. Use the colour plan as a reference. Draw another line 36mm from the base and mask again. Paint the space
between the lines black, (Ref.19301). Then mask the hull from the black line downwards and paint the upper part of the hull grey 2,
(Ref.19385). The bow and stern areas should be masked
off and painted grey 3, (Ref.19386). Follow the indications in the pictures and drawings to find and paint the other decorations on the hull white, (Ref.19300) and black, (Ref.19301). Paint the
other side of the hull with the same decorations and colours as shown in the colour plan.
Q-R-S-S-T-U-V. Cover all decks as shown in the pictures, then sand and varnish, (Ref.19209). Build the structures following the alphanumeric order of the images. Use white glue. Fit and
glue the covers onto the structures. Use crack-covering putty (Ref.19143) for the structures. After sanding, apply primer, (Ref.19142).
W-X-Y-Z. Sand the back of the brass parts and glue them with white glue, (Ref.19200). Go building the structures and decorate them as the images indicate. Use masking tape to insulate
structures so you can decorate them precisely. The cannons can be decorated with paint, or by sticking colored tape on them. If you don't glue the cannons to the deck, they will be able to
turn on themselves using the Y50 piece. Double the thread and twist it to get more consistent threads. Then apply white glue to make it stiff and paint it white or black as needed. Build the
plane and paint it with the colors, Ref.19315, 19384 and 19310. Then stick the vinyls on it. Build and decorate the boats using the images as a color guide. Go building and decorating the
pieces and add them to the ship to complete it. It is advisable that the railings of the main deck are adjusted and painted before gluing them definitively.
MASTS AND SPARS
In order to make up the masts the first step is to cut the rods to size, as indicated in the parts list, or by taking measurements directly from the plans, which are printed in 1/1 scale.
All of the masts and spars have to have a certain conical shape, which they will have to be given.
In order to achieve this conical shape for the masts, sand down the rod (using a sander), increasing the amount of sanding down as you get closer to the end at which you want to decrease
the diameter. Turn the rod so that you sand it down evenly on all sides, until achieving the diameter indicated in the plan.
To achieve this conical shape for the spars carry out the above operations but in this case evenly reducing the diameter at both ends of the rod.
The rods will have to be stained or painted, depending on the model that you are building.
To correctly make up the must for this model you must take into account:
-The plans
-The close-up photos of the masts and spars
-The measurements and material descriptions of the parts list
-The “PI” parts identification sheets
-Template PL-01
The masts and spars need to be varnished, while some of the parts that make them up are meant to be painted. Examine the general and close-up photos of the masts
Once the mast and spars has been assembled and varnished fix the tackle (slings, blocks, eyebolts, clump blocks, etc.) into place on the ship. The masts will have to be fully inserted into the
sockets prepared to receive them in the false keel.
SAILS AND RIGGING
In order to make up the running gear for this ship follow the alphabetic order of the images printed on the plans, indicating the order for fitting the (ropes, clump blocks, blocks, sails, etc.)
highlighted in red. In combination with the parts list this will serve as a guide with regard to the type of material to be used and the measurements.
