PREPARATION
- Parts Trimming
|
|
1.
Before actual assembly begins, care should be taken
to trim up any flash or rough edges on the resin parts.
This can be accomplished with an Xacto knife. Gently
whittle away any excess resin, making sure that you
don't damage the part itself. Take your time and work
with each part carefully.

2.
Once the parts are trimmed, use 600 grit sandpaper and
sand the hull and the parts. This will provide the "tooth"
necessary for proper paint and glue adhesion. IMPORTANT:
take care not to sand away any of the scribing or other
detail on the hull and/or parts. Sand enough to make the
surface uniformly dull. Resin parts can be sanded further
to provide a smooth, finished appearance. |

Important
Safety Tip:
Some
of the kit construction depicted on these pages was conducted
on the married builder's kitchen table. Great
care was taken to ensure no damage was inflicted to the
construction area. Many procedures were done either outdoors
or in the shop/garage. The table was cleared and cleanup
was meticulous following each assembly step.
War Fish Models strongly recommends that every builder
respect their significant other's shared property in order
to ensure their, and our hobby's, continued health and
growth. |
