VISBY

STEALTH CORVETTE

1/200 Scale VISBY Stealth Corvette

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

The Visby Class of stealth corvettes is being built for the Swedish Navy by the Swedish

company Kockums (a subsidiary of HDW of Germany). Construction began in 1996 at

Kockums Kalrskrona yard. The Visby (K31) was launched in June 2000 and began sea

trials in December 2001. It is to enter operational service in January 2005. Five Visby

class vessels are to be delivered to the Swedish Navy by 2007, which has an option on a

sixth vessel.The first four Visby corvettes for the Swedish Navy are for Mine

Countermeasures (MCM) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). The last will be

primarily for the attack and anti-surface warfare role.Visby vessels will not initially be

fitted with an air defence missile system, but could later be equipped with one, such as

the Saab Bofors Dynamics Rb23 BAMSEA or Raytheon Evolved Seasparrow

Missile.The corvettes can also be equipped with eight Saab Bofors Dynamics RBS 15

anti-ship missiles instead of mine countermeasures equipment.

Study carefully the illustrative drawings, cutouts and present instruction before starting

the work on the model. Try to imagine the separate assembly phases and the purpose of

each detail.

Note that the ship model is composed of some very large and plenty of very small, even

microscopic parts. For best results you must build both the large and small parts with the

same precision. If you allow mistakes in building the large ship’s parts as hull, deck and

main superstructure, no need to add small details at all. They’ll be somehow lost or

shaded from the most highly visible mistakes on the main parts.

Since building the large parts takes only about 10 – 20 % from the entire working time of

the ship modeling work, it is highly recommended if something goes wrong at this stage,

to abandon the work, to reprint the necessary parts and to make a new attempt.

You’ll have to prepare the necessary materials:

- A4 or Letter format card stock with approximately 0.35 mm thickness.

- Appropriate glue – UHU or BISON clear adhesive or similar. Water based glues like

White glue are not suitable at all. You’ll need also appropriate glue for the photo etched

metal parts like Conocolit if you purchase them and appropriate model paint.

- Optionally piece of transparent foil for illuminators and probably for the helicopter’s

cockpit.

The instruments needed for assemblage are scissors, sharp modeling knife, rule, blunt

knife for scoring the fold lines, tweezers, prickle and grinding paper.

Start the work on the model from the hull skeleton – parts 1-4. Glue over it the deck 8,9,

deck 5,6 and front wave cutter 7. Assembly the hull’s front sides /parts 8-10/ and glue

them on the skeleton, together with the stern 11. Assembly carefully and form the hull 12,

then after some dry tests glue it to the skeleton and stern. You can try to cut the blue

illuminators and glue from the back side transparent foil, but it is not recommended for

beginners.

Continue with the superstructure 14. If you’ve made the illuminators on part 12

transparent, you should have to do the same on the part 14.

Assembly and glue to the front of the model part 13. Then assembly and glue to the stern

the water jet exhausts 19,20.

You can choose two variants of the main gun turret – closed for cruising or armed with

gun and guiding radar outside. In the first case you should use part 15, and in the second

case – part 16 and 17. Glue the turret to the base 18 and position it on the deck.

At this stage your cruising variant of the model is ready. You can build it’s stand 21-24,

as it is shown on view D of the instruction drawings, then put the model on it and enjoy.

If you like to build VISBY in peacetime service variant, you can continue.

If so, assembly the removable mast – parts 24-27 and don’t forget the Swedish flag 26.

Add also the safe boats containers 28 with their radar shields 29.

You can purchase from ModelArt dealers or from your local hobby shop the needed

photo etched details for removable railings. Their pattern is included in the kit.

There are two variants for building the main deck railings. The first one is they to be in

normal vertical position as it is shown on the view G of the instruction, or to be in down

position for helicopter take off or landing /view H/.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

Despite that the helicopter model contains some very small parts, its assemblage is easy.

Just be careful with cutting and forming its parts.

Start from the fuselage. Form and glue I\each of fuselage parts by using supplied

connecting stripes. Then insert in each part front and back former. Glue the parts

together. By using the same, assembly the engine cowlings. You can even try to make the

cockpit and side illuminators transparent if you’ve done the same with the corvette.

Add the tail, main and tail rotors, side wings, wheels and the armament. It’s highly

recommended to not attempt to make the rotors rotatable in this scale. The best solution is

to glue them firmly, and to glue the helicopter firmly on the VISBY main deck. If not, the

label “DO NOT COUGH” should be added to the kit for preventing unauthorized take of

the LINX.

Enjoy your kit.
