If any part has to be painted more than one colour, the joints
must be masked out using clear adhesive tape or PVC tape
- don't use paper masking tape! The tape must be removed
again when the paint is just touch-dry; do not allow the
paint to dry completely before peeling it off.
Joint areas of parts already painted must be sanded before
glue is applied.
The instructions inform you when particular parts have to be
painted before you continue with construction. Otherwise
you should paint the model at your own discretion.
Use only acrylic or synthetic enamel paints for this model.
Types designed for brush and spray application are equally
suitable.
If you have the facilities to apply a sprayed finish using a
spraygun and compressor, we recommend two-pack car
paints; use the same range of paints throughout the model.
We suggest that you copy the colour scheme shown in the
kit box illustration.
RC system
We strongly recommend that you install the specified RC
system components. If you intend to use items other than
those suggested, you can still use the arrangement shown
on the plan, but you may have to make allowance for minor
differences in component sizes.

Assembly instructions
Happy Hunter
Connect the radio control system, set all the transmitter
sticks and trims to centre, and switch it on briefly. This sets
the servos to neutral from the outset.
All electrical connections inside the hull must be arranged in
such a way that they cannot come into contact with any
water which gets inside the boat.
Auxiliary working systems
The Happy Hunter is large enough to accommodate nume-
rous auxiliary working systems. You may wish to install a
working lighting system, crane, anchor winch, towing gear,
radar, siren, horn and bow thruster.
These instructions describe the installation of the working
systems at the appropriate point. We recommend that you
fit the working systems at an early stage, as installing them
later may be much more difficult due to restricted access.
