Shako Rocket Tosen
B28-VSF-007
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.
Note – For this model you may find it easier to build sub-assemblies and paint them before attaching them to the model.
Two examples of these are the engine module and sails.
We also painted all the metalwork on the side and hull panels prior to assembly.
First construct two rocket bells from the pieces
shown above.
Start by glueing the internal supports together.
Place the largest ring over the supports, aligning
the flat portions of the inner ring with the
supports. Repeat for the other rings.
The sides of the rocket are formed from these
pieces.
Glue the semi-circles into the central space as
shown.
The axle is made from these pieces.
Glue them together as shown.
The rear plate plus the two rockets.
Glued together as above.
All the pieces of the rocket section.
Place the axle through the holes in the sides, then
attach the sides to the rear plate as shown above.
Glue the rest of the pieces into place.
The washers…
Place three on each end of the axle.
Each sail is formed from the pieces shown above.
Glue the main sections back to back, then attach
the support brackets as shown above.
Glue the two outer “clips” into position.
The two completed front sails.
Take the pieces shown and glue them together
with the engine going between each long hull
section.
The support piece (with the cross cut out) has an
arrow etched into it.
Make sure the top of the back plate is at the same
level as the rear girders.
Next attch the deck.
Attach the side panels.
Note: The wing interface slots should be towards
the back of the model.
Attach the remaining side panels and front
section.
Turn the model over and attach the front under hull
section and the second support plate as shown.
Attach the two cover plates on both side of the
engine axle.
Glue the two levers twowards the rear of the side
hull plates hiding the wing support holes.
The ships wheel is formed from these three
pieces.
Glue them together as shown.
Glue on the wings and ships wheel.
