Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin assembly, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workbench with high-quality wood glue, specialized modelers knives, and fine-grit sandpaper. Because the kit is made of wood, avoid storing the finished model in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations, as this can cause the timber to warp over time. Periodic dusting with a soft, dry brush is recommended to maintain the finish of the wooden surfaces and the integrity of the rigging. Keep the instruction manual close at all times, as the sequence of assembly is critical for the internal structural support of the hull.
