Bellissima

Introduction:

The model should be assembled

following the sequence of the

stages of construction described in

these instructions. The laser-cut

components are individually

numbered. The manufacturing

method leaves small tabs on some

parts which have to be cut away

using a thin-bladed modelling knife.

The dark edges of the laser-cut

parts should also be rubbed off

using abrasive paper in order to

obtain sound glued joints. Check

that all components fit accurately,

and carry out any minor trimming

required before reaching for the

glue. Allow all glued joints to dry out

fully before starting the next stage of

construction. We recommend a

fast-setting waterproof white glue;

please take care to prevent

adhesive running onto the untreated

mahogany parts and any external

surfaces which will be visible on the

finished model, as the glue will show

up through the final painted finish.

We recommend that you apply a

coat of sanding sealer (Order No.

7 6 6 6 / 0 2 ) t o t h e m a h o g a n y

components before gluing them.

The whole of the boat - inside and

out - must be given several coats of

clear water-resistant boat lacquer

before the model is placed in the

water, as this waterproofs the wood

and the glued joints. If you have to

glue parts to areas which have

already been lacquered, use two-

pack adhesive for those joints.

Each of the cabin sides 23 features

two portholes, but only one of them

is shown in the drawings.

We recommend our aero-pick

modelling pins, Order No. 7855/02, for

use while you are building the boat.

Page 2 Insert the hull frames 4 - 11 in the slots in the jig 0. Chamfer the front end of the keel 12 (from the red line) on both sides to form a sharp central edge before fitting it into the frames. All the parts feature tabs and slots which automatically define their positions.
Page 3 The mahogany face of the hull sides 18 should initially be sealed using sanding sealer; allow it to dry thoroughly for about twelve hours. Bevel the light-coloured inside face of the hull sides 18 at the front end (arrow) using the abrasive paper supplied, so that a sharp edge is formed at the bow when the parts are glued to the keel 12.
Page 4 Sand the inside edge of the hull bottom panels 19 at an angle where they meet the keel 12, so that there are no gaps. Caution: take care to produce a handed pair (different left and right). Do not apply glue at this stage. Lay one bottom panel 19 on the hull and clamp it to the keel using spring clamps.
Page 5 22.1 At this stage the boatstand should be assembled by gluing parts 20, 21, 22 and 22.1 together. The hull should now be placed in the stand and left there for all further construction work. 22.1 Carefully break away the superfluous support tabs from the keel 12 and frames 1 to 11, then sand the broken...
Page 6 Glue the deck support 24 to hull frames 8 - 11 and the keel 12. Glue the rear deck support reinforcements 27 to part Now fit the two cabin side walls 23 in the slots in the hull frames, aligning the marked points with frames 2 and 8.
Page 7 Glue the stringers 25 in the notches in the hull frames 1 - 11 and the deck support 24. Glue the transom 29 to the rear face of frame 1; it must overlap the hull sides 18.
Page 8 Glue the lateral Glue the rear cockpit wall 34 to frame supports 26 in 2 with its bottom edge flush with the place at the opening in the frame. stern. Glue the shroud supports 28 in place on both sides of the hull. Note the correct orientation (arrow).
Page 9 Glue the forward boat deck 31 to the deck 30 at the front (bow), and the after boat deck 32 at the rear (stern). Stick the fabric tape 36 to the underside of the decks, overlapping parts 30, 31 and 32, to bridge and reinforce the joints.
Page 10 Glue together the supports from parts 16 + 17, and glue these assemblies in the notches in frames 5 and 6. Install the cockpit sides 38 in the hull and slide Fit the rear cockpit panel 39, set it them towards the stern as far as they will go; vertical, and glue it in place.
Page 11 40.1 40.2 Glue the door frame components 41 - 44 to the cabin wall 40. Glue the louvre panels 40.2 to the door blanks 40.1. 40.2 40.2 Glue the louvre panels in place; they should lie recessed in the door frames by about 0.5 mm.
Page 12 Glue the knees 46 and the bench seat 47 in the cockpit. Glue parts 76 and 77 in place to form the cockpit edge rails. The frame for the detachable roof is assembled from parts 48, 49 and 50. To ensure that the roof frame retains the correct shape, it should be fitted on the model while the glue is drying.
Page 13 When the glued joints of the roof frame have set hard, the cabin roof 51 can be prepared and fitted. There is a danger that the panel will spit along the engraved lines, but this can be avoided by lightly moistening the top face beforehand.
Page 14 Glue the rudder bush 62 in the hull using two-pack adhesive; it should project out of the bottom of the hull by 3 Engage the end of the servo plate 63 in the slot in frame 8, and fix it to parts 16 and 17 using the screw 64.

Remove the backing paper and stick the matching pieces on the rear face, The sails are supplied taking care to line them up neatly. attached to a sheet of paper to avoid The projecting ends of the stiffeners transport damage.
Page 20 Attach the hooks 92 to both bottom corners of the jib: temporarily open up the small closed loops using a pair of pliers, fit them through the holes in the sail, then close them again with the pliers. The open part of the hook can now be connected to the ring-screw in the jib boom.
Page 21 Connect the mainsail to the hook 86 at the boom swivel joint. At the starboard (right-hand) side the sail is secured by the hook 86 tied to the sheet 88, which is routed through the two ring-screws 74 to the cleat 72, where it is belayed (secured).
Page 22 The main boom kicking strap is assembled from parts 74, 84, 85 and 87. The completed strap should be attached to the ring-screw 74 on the main boom once assembled, so that the braided steel wire 87 can be pulled taut before the crimp-sleeve 85 is tightened fully.
