Effect Deck OR 1x Plastic Checkerplate deck. 1x
Black Plastic Straw
CLEAN ALL RESIN PARTS IN WARM SOAPY WATER
The silicone release agent used in the casting process will react with paint,
it must be thoroughly cleaned off before painting.
This is a rough guide to using the kit. Care should be taken at each
stage to make sure the model is going together correctly and any alterations
that are not in the instructions should be carried out.
Paint: Components can be painted at any time in the build, it is a case
of what suits the builder
Glue: Recommended glue is contact adhesive or super glue. We use Blue Lid
Gorrila Super Glue, for beginners we recommend Revell Contacta Glue.
-
Prep the parts. Remove the plastic backing and separate parts from the sprues by gently cutting the remaining plastic holding them in place, sand both sides and the edges of all parts with 220 grit or similar sand paper to improve adhesion.
-
Assemble the Chassis. The two chassis rails glue into the slots on the main floor piece. Ensure they are glued perpendicular to the floor. Then add the three cross members in their slots, ensure the cross member with triangles ins glued in the front slot to hold the drawbar. The front is the longer side from the axle hole.
-
Glue the front and rear plates on.
The two end plates glue directly to the edges of the floor. The one with triangles goes to the front of the trailer.
-
Assemble the drawbar. The two drawbar lengths glue back to back, the tow eye then glues into the recessed slot at the front.
-
Attach the drawbar. The drawbar glues into the triangle slots as illustrated.
-
Assemble the bumper and lights. If building an Old Style trailer you may wish to leave these off. The bumper glues into the space behind the end plate between the chassis rails. The light boards glue to the back edges of the end plate.
-
Add the bale lade brackets. There are small lines cut into the end plate. These indicate where to glue the four small bale lade brackets. If you don’t intend to make the bale lades removable these brackets can be left off
-
Build the lades. The lades are built by gluing two uprights to the frame as illustrated. The small triangles should point to the glued side.
Repeat for the second set. If you intend to have permanent lades glue these to the body using the engraved lines on the end plates to line them up.
-
Add the drawbar shoe. Glue the three shoe parts back to back, then glue these to the bottom of the drawbar.
-
Attach the bed (Checker Plate).
If building the checkerplate version you can now glue the bed to the frame as illustrated. If building a wooden deck leave the deck off and skip straight to painting.
-
Paint. To paint we recommend a plastic spray primer followed with a top coat of automotive spray paint. We have use Halfords Grey Plastic Primer followed By Halfords Toolbox Red/ Ford Royal Blue for the two trailers. Rims were painted with an Aluminium effect spray paint, any silver paint works. Leave the paint to fully dry before final assembly.
-
Final Assembly. Once dried the trailer can be assembled. The axle pushes into one wheel, this is then slotted through the axle holes and the second wheel pushed on after. Use the black straw to cut spacers so the axle can’t slide side to side.
If building a wooden deck this can now be glued in place.
The bale lades should simply push into the brackets to complete the build.
