The stringers should be glued in place aligned with the hull
markings.
- Cut the fore-and-aft hull stringers 216 - 218 to exact
length in pairs, and bevel the ends as shown on Plan I.
- Glue one stringer 216 in the centre of the transom. The
next step is to tack the stringer in place; it should finish
flush below the scuppers as it curves forward, and rest on
the hull at the marked points.
- Run cyano along the stringer to fix it in place permanent-
ly.
- Attach the second transom stringer 216 and the fore-and-
aft stringers 217, 218 in the same manner.
- Cut the vertical rails 219 to length to suit the model, and
trim them to fit between the stringers. Cut the ends to a
half-round shape to fit the stringers.
- Sand the fairings 220 to shape. Cut the ram guard com-
ponents 221 to size as shown on Plan I, trim them to fit
between the fairings, and glue them in place.
- Cut the stabilisers 222 from L-section strip as shown in
the detail view (Plan I), and glue them to the hull at the
marked points.
Painting the hull and the removable hatch
We recommend matt-finish synthetic enamel paints for this
model.

- Remove the towing mechanism from the hull.
- The cable which raises and lowers the hydraulic crane is
made from the braided steel wire 223. Thread the wire
through the tube 104 from the top. Solder the projecting
bottom end to the drive shaft 141.
- Install the towing mechanism in the hull once more.
- Move the crane to the idle position. Pull the braided wire
down and secure it with the tubular rivet 224. Test the
system, and cut off the excess wire length when you are
satisfied.
- Cut the running cable 225 to a length of 1000 mm, thread
it through the tube 11K from the top, and run it through
the oval opening in the bulkhead 121. Attach the cable to
the actuating disc 149.

- Prepare the hull ready for painting.
- The construction waterline (CWL) also represents the divi-
ding line between the upper hull and the underwater hull
in terms of colour. Measure off the waterline from the plan,
and mark it on the centre of the hull at bow and stern.
- Make the jig shown in Fig. 132; this is used to mark the
waterline on the hull.
- Support the boatstand in such a way that the marked
CWL points are the same height above the flat base. Mark
the waterline all round by sliding the marking jig round the
hull. The hull can now be painted.

- Run the upper end of the cable to the crane as shown on
the plan, and attach the prepared crane hook assembly to
it.
- Note: the crane is suitable for lifting loads weighing up to
40 g, e.g. the inflatable boat mounted on the removable
hatch. If you wish to do this, make up a crane hook from
parts 226 and 227 as shown in the detail sketch. If you
intend to set up the Happy Hunter as a static display
model, fit the scale crane hook instead.
The next step is to fit out the decks. We suggest that you
make and prepare all the individual components, paint them
separately, and then attach them to the model in the positi-
ons shown on the plan.
