The centre of each rotor is formed from the three
pieces shown on the left. Push the disk over the
two spindle pieces (as seen on the right).
Add the clear disk, then push the other disk over
the spindle to lock it in place.
Add the rotor assembly to the motor.
Glue the ships wheel into place.
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).
