  
Make up the water tight doors and add them to
the superstructure just before you add the color coats.
  
Make the foam nozzles from 1/16" rod and
paint red. The fire axe was made from a piece of 1/16' rod with a piece of tin can stock
soldered on for the blade.
  
The twin .50 mount is an inline tripod of
1/16" brass rod. The boss on the underside of the ammo boxes was drilled 1/16"
for the center rod of the tripod. The machine guns are epoxied to the ammo box holders.
  
Make up the life ring holders from aluminum
can stock as shown in the detail drawing.
  
Install the windows (clear plastic) on the
bridge after painting. It's a little tricky but it can be done.
  
The rest of the deck hardware should be
pretty self explanatory. Just find the locating dimensions on the drawings and fasten the
part to the boat with your favorite adhesive. |
