How To Read The Plan:
If this is your
first model, the symbols and lines on the plan may be unfamiliar
to you. This section will explain what the plan is and how to
use it.

The plan is a full-size drawing of the model that
shows the correct size, shape and relationship of all of the
parts. In order to show all of the parts together, the plan is
drawn using cutaway views, dashed lines and sections that allow
you to "see through" some, or all of the parts.
Cutaway views appear as if a part, or parts were removed. This is done to
clearly show the parts immediately behind the cutaway part. The
Side View on the plan shows the hull with the planking removed,
or cut out.

Dashed lines indicate a part, or a portion of a part that is
underneath or inside of another part.

The plan will
be used in several ways. It will be helpful in identifying and
positioning parts on other parts that are not built directly on
the plan. Assemblies, such as the windshield, will be built on
the plans using the drawing as a pattern to locate parts. The
plans will also be useful in positioning components, such as the
radio, before installation in the model. |
