Kit Instructions Step 3E
Grab Handles
Prior to attaching the rear deck (part 22):
Remove the kit grab handles and smooth the
remaining deck area.
Align the drilling guide’s groove with the inside edge
of the grab handle area and drill pilot holes using a
0.015” (0.4mm) bit.
Attach the rear deck and smooth the seam before
attaching the grab handles (etch parts 2).

Rudder Tie Rods and Lower Drain Holes
Fold the four tie rod brackets (etch parts 6)and glue into the positions shown at
right. Insert the two tie rods (etch parts 11) and glue in place.
The drain holes (etch parts 1) may be surface mounted or used as cutting
guides (this is more accurate).
If surface mounting the drains to an R/C model, paint the kit and etch before
attaching them using RTV sealant (the blue gasket making material available
in most auto parts stores). This will allow the bond to flex as the model goes through
the temperature changes experienced by a R/C submarine.

Limber Holes
Note that the limber holes replicate the 17’ (large) filming miniature.
Anneal the limber hole plates (etch parts 7 and 13) before
proceeding so that the parts will hold their shape after bending and
not try to spring back.
Remove material as shown to provide through-holes. (You can place curved plastic
following the contour of the round outer hull to simulate an internal pressure hull.)
Apply the limber hole plates as shown, aligning the lower edges of the plates to the etch
of the kit parts.
If you are building the Seaview as an R/C model, paint the kit and etch before
attaching them using RTV sealant as with the drain
holes in the previous step.
