Please read these instructions fully before starting construction.
PVA or equivalent glue will be required to stick sections together.
Sand paper can be used to gently clean any joints.
A sharp modelling knife will be required to remove sections from the sprue. Please use knives with due care and remember
to cut away from yourself at all times.
During the construction of this model, you may find it convenient to use pegs / elastic bands to hold pieces in place while
you allow glue to dry.
You may find it easier to paint sections of your model as you go along prior to the final assembly (see below).

Painting
While the model was in its sub-components (i.e. upper hull, deck, lower hull, ramp) we painted each one.
All the pieces apart from the deck were sprayed black (car undercoat). The edges of the deck and the underside
were hand painted with black emulsion paint.
All the black areas then had a heavy dry brush of a dark blue/grey colour, followed by a medium dry brush of a pale
grey and finally a light drybrush of an almost white colour all were DIY household emulsion paint.
The stripes were added with model colour and the Prussian eagle and roman numerals were taken from a transfer
sheet from an old model kit.
The centre and edges of the rotor blades were painted with a yellow glaze (model paint).
