Get the cured stacks and the searchlight mount. Sand off the rounded edges of the bottom of the Stacks.
Lightly sand, rotating the stack often so it will remain square. Sanded “before” & “after”. It is a good idea to put a
scrap of foam inside the stacks for flotation. Install the stacks, Scuff the base, apply CA to the stack, center, press
& hold.
Note the top angle.
Orient them as shown.
Install it about 1/2 way between the top and bottom of the straight portion of the stack. Don’t forget the stern anti-
aircraft mount or the alternate early version included.
The searchlight mount will attach on the rear-most stack parallel to the deck as shown. Use sandpaper to round and
widen the inside of the mount until it fits barely snug and even without being spread/warped by the stack.
The model is complete and ready for painting and the installation of your electronics and ballast weights.
