Manual for building the BRITANNIC
in her White Star Line livery
____________________________________________________________
BEF RE STARTING T BUILD READ THE PTI NALS CAREFULLY
For building your Britannic model you can also follow the original manual but you
have to replace the original Titanic parts with parts from this Britannic set. As a
result of this, some parts may look different then as seen in the manual
1; At step 13 skip the first part as part B58 is not in use in Britannic’s paper model
and continue building part B48.
2; At step 25 do not place cranes at the boat deck since they were removed on
the Britannic, this is the same with the cargo hatches beneath these cranes.
3; Skip step 26 this will be done later.
4; Then skip 32 until later. First cut out parts C1 and 12. Fold parts in shape and
glue onto the aft deck as shown on the schematic on the left.
Glue part C 12 here. If this is done, paste C1 onto C12.
Then build two engine houses using part C10 past them on
the marked spaces on part C12, then do step 26 of the
original manual and glue part B78 in place on top of
part C12.
This place is used in the HMHS version, not in the RMS version
*optional attach optional nylon threads for rigging trough the
roofs and decks (C1 & 12) before glueing. The threads will be
tight to the aft mast. Keep the lifeboat storage in mind.
Part C5/11
Part C3/4
5; Cut parts C3 , 4, 5 and C11, fold and glue into shape, this is done three times.
When the connected parts are dry paste one of them before the last funnel and the
2nd behind the last funnel and the third (smaller one) on top of part C12 at the aft
open slots

deck (see (optional)photo and red arrows on schematic below) This is where the
lifeboats will be stored.
*optional: recreate parts
C3, 4,5 and C11 out strips
of paper 1mm wide. (see
photo below)
6; The next step is building the new davits for
lowering the lifeboats. Cut out parts C13
ptional; For enlarged models the davits can be
build as printed, for smaller models there is
the option to cut the davits in two parts en
only use the curved parts, glue them to
double thickness before glueing them onto the boat deck.
7; Glue a pair of davits to each side of the extra lifeboat storage and a 5th couple
at starboard near the bridge. (see schematic below)
14; Britannic was fitted with a covered 3rd class entrance and raised cargo hatches
on the front well deck, build them using parts C6, 7, 8 and 9 and place them on the
forward well deck, they maybe needed to cut to fit.

Optional name plaque.
9; ( riginal step 32 but different then Titanic) cut out the lifeboats (part C14 - 19,
69 & 81) I have added more lifeboats then actually are needed) n the smaller
models place 4 lifeboats on the extra lifeboat storage (2 on both sides see
schematic below) Place lifeboats (15&)14 and (17&)16 at the given places, for
the other lifeboats use parts 69 and 81.

Place lifeboat 14 and 16 here
* ptional for enlarged models place one collapsible boat underneath each lifeboat.
10; build two engine housings (parts C10) and place them at the end of the boat
deck here and here at the marked spots
11 * ptional rigging; tie the nylon threads from the stern to the aft mast. And
extend to nylon thread to the frond mast. Tie the nylon from the front mast to the
bow and add the optional mast shrouds as shown on B. Extend the rigging as much
as you like. See schematic on the parts sheet for a rigging example.
If you already know you are going to rig the model anyway, perhaps it is easier to
attach several nylon threads where you like the model to be rigged.
Enjoy your modeling and show us your results!
