painted, as some areas may be difficult or even impossible to paint when already installed in or on the
model.
Staining the wooden parts
The wooden parts of the superstructure should be dyed using teak-coloured stain. One suitable stain is
CLOU 2528 Teak, which is available from builders' suppliers. Observe the manufacturer's notes when
applying the stain; it is important that it should be compatible with the clear lacquer you intend to use. TIP:
check the behaviour of the stain on some scrap wood beforehand.
Stained wooden parts should not be sanded subsequently, as it is very easy to sand off the stained area.
Touching up the stain then produces local darkening and an uneven finish.
Stain will not "take" on wooden parts which are already soaked in glue or paint. Bear this in mind, and be
sure to stain the wooden parts before gluing them.
For example, where the handrails are to be glued to wooden cladding panels you should adopt this
procedure: make the parts, trim them carefully to fit, then stain and lacquer them completely. Allow the
lacquer to dry before gluing the parts together.
Wherever possible the stained wooden parts should be finished using semi-matt clear lacquer, as this
looks much more realistic on the finished model than gloss lacquer.
Colour scheme
In the list below the colours are stated only as RAL hues; this should help in selecting the correct colours.
Armed with this information you should be able to obtain all the colours you need from any specialist paint
supplier. Explain to your contact in the paint shop your intended use for the paints, as this will help him
select the most suitable type. We recommend synthetic enamel paints.

Maiden voyage

Charge up the batteries and carefully check all the model's working systems in turn. When all the checks
have been completed satisfactorily, you are ready to launch the boat for its maiden run. Take your time,
run the boat slowly at first, and allow yourself to become familiar with the model's handling on the water.
Bear in mind that this boat is capable of fairly high speeds, and is therefore more difficult to master
completely than a slow-running vessel. We wish you lots of luck and many hours of pleasure building and
running your JULES VERNE.
