ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
FLYING DUTCHMAN
A. Sand and stain all frames and the false keel walnut colour, (Ref.19211). Following the alphanumeric order insert and glue the pieces as shown in the illustrations. Before gluing the frames,
check that they fit correctly in their position by fitting them in the corresponding slots in the false keel. It is important that the frames be completely perpendicular to the false keel so that the
decks will fit properly. Use white glue, (Ref.19200).
B. Stain the underside of all the decks walnut, (Ref.19211). Then cut the planking and highlight their edges with a pencil. Start laying the deck by adjusting the first strip to the pencil line as
shown in the illustration. Glue the planking together so that the joints are not noticeable. Use white glue. To simulate the fastenings of the planking, mark points as shown in the picture. Plank
all decks as shown in the pictures. Sand and varnish them (Ref.19209).
C and D. Check the fit of the decks on the framing. Then, apply glue and fit the decks. Prepare and fit the pieces as shown in the illustration. You can age pieces by applying Bitumen of
Judea, (Ref.19141). This is a water-based product that can be diluted or applied directly as you prefer.
E and F. Some panels must be painted with black paint, (Ref. 19301). Then, to highlight their textures, you can apply white paint, (Ref.19300) with a dry brush. It is advisable to sand the
surfaces supporting the decks to facilitate fitting. Stain the inside of the F8 side walls with walnut stain, (Ref.19211). Paste the F9 pieces in the areas shown in the illustration. Then fix the
parts F8 and F10 with pins.
G and H. Construct the grating with the G1 pieces. These pieces are inserted with each other to form grating. To cut them to the correct size, count the holes shown in the illustration. Varnish
the pieces obtained (Ref. 19209) and apply Bitumen of Judea, (Ref. 19141). Build the structures shown in the illustrations. Sand a portion of acetate for the inside of the structure.
I. Place the hull upside down and begin sanding starting from the bow and advancing aft. You must roughen the edges of the frames, but without deforming their original shape. Sanding of
the hull must be symmetrical; that is, the right side must be identical to the left. Use a sanding block with a larger surface area for the middle of the hull. Sanding must be progressive and
gentle. Use a strip of wood to check that the sanding is correct. To do so, slide the strip on the frames to see how it fits to their shape. To make the doors, paint them like the panels. Then
insert and fix pieces i7 and A. Glue pieces A and cut off the surplus at the back of the doors. Build structures i8 and glue them to the inside of the hull. These pieces will be used to
camouflage the lights, if you want to fit them.
J and K. Prepare and fit pieces J1. Start lining the hull by adding the exact pieces shown in the illustration. Some of these pieces will need to be cut to size. Glue them against and between
the frames. Use A-pins to attach the parts to the hull. Note that only the right side of the ship should be planked. As you progress with the planking, you must open the holes shown in the
illustration. Use a knife for this.
L. Cut off the surplus at the top of the ribs and sand with a sander. Next, complete the right side planking of the boat as shown in the picture. Now it is time to fit the lights that will illuminate
the inside of the hull. If you wish to do this, light kit (Ref. 55010) is optional. To illuminate the inside of the hull, you will need to build a circuit like the one shown in the attached diagram,
(FLYING DUTCHMAN PL-01). Insert and glue the leds in the L2 pieces. Paint the leds yellow, (Ref.19306). Insert and glue the two strips of leds inside the hull and leave the wires at the
ends coming out of the hull so that the soldering can be done comfortably. Solder the two LED strips together at the front of the hull. Insulate the wires so that they do not cross. Solder the
battery holder wires to the LED wires on the top of the hull. The battery holder will be housed in the stern of the hull, as shown in the picture.
M. Stain the inside of parts M1 and M2 in walnut colour, (Ref. 19211). Then glue them to the left side of the hull. Line the side of the hull as shown in the pictures. Fit the bow stiffeners and
the stern planking. Then sand the entire hull to a fine finish.
N to P. Glue pieces N1 and N2 together. Use piece N3 as a template. Check how the parts fit on the back of the hull. Add all the decorative parts. Then, paint the assembly black,
(Ref.19301). Highlight its reliefs with white paint, (Ref.19300). Complete the set with the pieces shown in the pictures. Continue adding parts to the hull as the pictures indicate.
Q to S. Paint the guns black, (Ref.19301), and highlight their reliefs in blue, (Ref.19311). Build the gun carriages and other parts as shown in the pictures. Some of the pieces must be made
to measure. Next, paint the entire exterior of the hull black, (Ref.19301), and highlight the white reliefs, (Ref.19300).
T to X. Build the boat following the instructions in the pictures. Then decorate the boat and place it on the deck of the ship. This part of the boat can be removed to access the lights if you
have fitted them. Continue adding parts to the hull as the pictures indicate.
MASTS AND SPARS
In order to make up the masts the first step is to cut the rods to size, as indicated in the parts list, or by taking measurements directly from the plans, which are printed in 1/1 scale.
All of the masts and spars have to have a certain conical shape, which they will have to be given.
In order to achieve this conical shape for the masts, sand down the rod (using a sander), increasing the amount of sanding down as you get closer to the end at which you want to decrease
the diameter. Turn the rod so that you sand it down evenly on all sides, until achieving the diameter indicated in the plan.
To achieve this conical shape for the spars carry out the above operations but in this case evenly reducing the diameter at both ends of the rod.
The rods will have to be stained or painted, depending on the model that you are building.
To correctly make up the must for this model you must take into account:
-The plans
-The close-up photos of the masts and spars
-The measurements and material descriptions of the parts list
-The "PI" parts identification sheets
The masts and spars need to be varnished, while some of the parts that make them up are meant to be painted. Examine the general and close-up photos of the masts
Once the mast and spars has been assembled and varnished fix the tackle (slings, blocks, eyebolts, clump blocks, etc.) into place on the ship. The masts will have to be fully inserted into the
sockets prepared to receive them in the false keel.
SAILS AND RIGGING
In order to make up the running gear for this ship follow the alphabetic order of the images printed on the plans, indicating the order for fitting the (ropes, clump blocks, blocks, sails, etc.)
highlighted in red. In combination with the parts list this will serve as a guide with regard to the type of material to be used and the measurements.
A method for simulating the aging of the sails is to soak them in an infusion of tea, without boiling, and then leaving them to dry all wrinkled up. Fit them in place without ironing so that they
will have a certain consistency.
