Billing Waveney Lifeboat Kit

[TeeceyParticipant @teecey]

I have bought this Billing kit which said it comes with building instructions. However this turns out to be a parts list and a number of drawings / diagrams.

It is obvious that you need to trim the mouldings for either the hull or superstructure (or perhaps both) . Can anyone give me advice on how to do this as I have never done this before.

Many thanks!

Trimming hull/superstructure

[neil hpParticipant @neilhp]

your best bet is to mask off up to the line that you need to trim……I take it it's the abs hull.

the masking tape will stop the knife slipping.

take a sharp scalpal type craft knife..i use the swann morton orange type knives. and make some light inscisions along that masked line.take it carefully….and you DON'T need to cut through the plastic……

once you have made an inscision, you should be able to bend the plastic wast away from the cut, and it will ( loke glass) snap off along that line……..only trim the hull………leave the superstructure until you have put the deck on before trimming that to a level, and then come back to us.

neil.

Building that one myself but with RC conversion (tricky as there is not much space and low weight limit).

Desk should be going on soon.
