Assembly Instructions for the ALTONA model boat, Order No.: 2146, Id. No.: 58434
The “ALTONA” is a semi-scale model of a steam launch.
All the parts which are difficult to make, such as hull, stern, rudder, deck, superstructure, toplight and
funnel are supplied in the form of extremely high-quality GRP mouldings.
The Fittings Set includes many metal and injection-moulded plastic parts which make it much easier and
faster to complete the model.
Two possible variants can be built: for electric power or for steam engine.
The model is not suitable for the beginner to modelling, as it calls for a certain minimum level of manual
modelling skill.
For the steam-powered version some experience in handling steam engines is advisable.
Auxiliary working systems, such as lighting, steam whistle etc., can be installed; details are left to the
builder’s discretion.
Specification:
Overall length approx. 1315 mm
Beam approx. 305 mm
Overall height approx. 500 mm
Total displacement max. 17 kg
Scale 1 : 20
Important Safety Notes
You have acquired a kit which can be assembled into a fully working RC model when fitted out with
suitable accessories. However, we as manufacturers have no control over the way you build and operate
your RC model boat, nor how you install, operate and maintain the associated components, and for this
reason we are obliged to deny all liability for loss, damage or costs which are incurred due to the
incompetent or incorrect use and operation of our products, or which are connected with such operation in
any way. Unless otherwise prescribed by binding law, the obligation of the GRAUPNER company to pay
compensation, regardless of the legal argument employed, is excluded. This includes personal injury,
death, damage to buildings, damage due to loss of business or turnover, interruption of business or other
direct or indirect consequent damage whose root cause was the operation of the model. The total liability
in all cases and under all circumstances is limited to the amount of money which you actually paid for this
model.
This model boat is built and operated at the sole and express responsibility of the operator. The
only way to avoid injury to persons and damage to property is to handle and operate the model
with the greatest care and consideration at all times.
Before you run the model for the first time please check that your private third-party insurance covers the
operation of model boats of this kind. If in doubt, take out a special insurance policy designed to cover
modelling risks.
These Safety Notes should be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass them
on to the new owner.

The guarantee covers replacement of any parts which can be shown to exhibit manufacturing faults or
material defects within the guarantee period of 24 months from the initial date of purchase. No other
claims will be considered. Cost of transport, packing and freight are payable by the purchaser. We accept
no liability for damage in transit. When you send the product to GRAUPNER, or to the approved Service
Centre for your country, you must include a clear and concise description of the fault together with the
invoice showing the date of purchase. The guarantee is invalid if the component or model fails due to an
accident, incompetent handling or incorrect usage.
The following points are important and must be observed at all times:
• This model is not suitable for young persons under 14 years of age.

GRAUPNER GmbH & Co. KG D-73230 KIRCHHEIM/TECK GERMANY

• NEVER operate the model when there are persons or animals in the water, as the boat constitutes a
considerable injury hazard.
• Ensure that there are no people standing close by the bank when you are operating the boat. If you
make a mistake at the controls, or if a fault should occur, the model could slide up the bank and injure
anyone in the vicinity. Inform spectators of the risk, and ask them politely to leave the primary hazard
zone.
• Never run your model in protected sites, animal or plant sanctuaries or sites of special scientific
interest (SSSIs). Check with your local authority that the stretch of water you wish to use is suitable for
model boats.
• Never run the boat in salt water.
• Never run the boat in adverse conditions, e.g. rain, storm, strong wind, choppy water or strong
currents.
• Before you run the model check that the radio control system is working reliably, and that all
connections are secure.
• Dry batteries must never be recharged. Only batteries marked as “rechargeable” are safe to recharge.
• Before each session, check that the batteries are fully charged, and that the range of the radio control
system is adequate.
Ensure that the frequency you intend to use is not already in use by other modellers. Never run your
boat if you are not certain that your channel is free.
• Read and observe the instructions and recommendations supplied with your radio control system and
accessories.
• Do not carry out any work on the drive train unless you have already disconnected and removed the
battery.
• When the drive battery is connected, keep well clear of the area around the propeller, because it
constitutes a serious safety hazard. Make sure any spectators do the same.
• Do not be tempted to exceed the recommended operating voltage. Higher voltages may cause the
motor or speed controller to overheat, and the electrical cables may even melt. If this should happen,
the model could easily be completely ruined.
• Check that all the drive train components work smoothly and freely. This applies in particular when the
boat is running, as leaves and other debris may get caught in the power system components. The
motor, speed controller and rudder servo could then be ruined by overloading.
• Ensure that the servos are not mechanically obstructed (stalled) at any point in their travel.
Dry cells and rechargeable batteries must never be short-circuited. Do not allow them to come into
direct contact with water.
• Allow the motor and the speed controller to cool down after each run. Don’t touch the hot parts.
• Remove the rechargeable batteries if the model is to be transported, or will not be used for a long
period.
• The lead-acid battery which powers the motor must not be stored in the discharged state. Charge the
battery before storing it, and recharge it at regular intervals if you have to leave it unused for a
protracted period.
• Do not subject the model boat to high levels of humidity, heat, cold or dirt.
• Secure the model and your RC equipment carefully when transporting them. They may be seriously
damaged if they are free to slide about.
If you have to operate the boat on moving water (e.g. a river), please bear in mind that it could drift
away downstream if a fault were to occur.
• If you have to salvage the model, take care not to risk your own life or that of others.
• Take particular care to ensure that the boat is completely watertight, as it will sink if too much water
enters the hull. Check the model for damage before every run, and ensure that water cannot penetrate
through the shaft bearings.
• Avoid water getting inside the boat by sealing it carefully before each run. For example, apply
adhesive tape all round the hatch cover to prevent it shifting.
Care and maintenance
• Clean the model carefully after every run, and remove any water which penetrates the hull. If water
gets into the RC components, dry them out carefully and send them to your nearest GRAUPNER
Service Centre for checking.
• Clean the model and transmitter using suitable cleaning agents only. Ask your model shop owner if
you are not sure what to use.
• Lubricate the propeller shaft at regular intervals.
• If the model will not be used for a long period, dismantle all the moving parts (propeller shaft etc.),
clean them and re-lubricate them.

Notes on assembling the model
• Before you start building the model, please take the time to study the plan and read right through the
instructions, using the Parts List as an aid. In general terms the instructions and the parts list reflect
the sequence of assembly.
• Please bear in mind that many tools can be dangerous if misused or handled carelessly.
• The best method of cutting out the vacuum-moulded ABS parts is to use a pair of Lexan shears (e.g.
Order No. 26), although it is often possible simply to use a sharp modelling knife (e.g. Order No. 982).
Cut the parts oversize at first, so that you can sand them back to final size when they are required.
• Keep the scrap ABS material, as it is required later for making various small items.
• All wooden parts should be sanded smooth before they are fitted, and given several coats of
GLATTFIX sanding sealer (Order No. 207) to waterproof them.
• The electric motor must be suppressed by fitting a 470 nF capacitor (Order No. 3588). Solder the
capacitor across the motor terminals to form a bridge.
• Deploy all electrical cables neatly, without crossing them over. Take great care to avoid any bare
positive wire touching any negative wire.
• Be sure to use cable which is capable of carrying the high currents which flow when the boat is
operating.
• Deploy the receiver aerial as far away as possible from any high-current cables (at least 3 cm).
• The shaft system must be lubricated; be sure to use only a type of grease or oil which does not soil or
contaminate water (grease: Order No. 570).
• Before gluing parts together it is important to clean the joint surfaces carefully. This is best done by
sanding lightly, followed by wiping with a non-greasy liquid detergent or methylated spirit (“meths”).
The same applies to all surfaces which are to be painted, as this improves the paint’s adhesion
considerably.
• Recommended adhesives for joining particular materials:
Material - material Suitable adhesives
Wood - wood UHU hart, white glue
Wood - metal Stabilit express, UHU plus
Metal - metal Cyano-acrylate, UHU plus
ABS - ABS Cyano-acrylate, Stabilit express, UHU plast
ABS - metal Cyano-acrylate, Stabilit express
Rubber - wood Cyano-acrylate
Read the instructions supplied with the adhesives. Be sure to observe any special notes in the
instructions regarding particular adhesives. If you are using acetone, methylated spirits or any
other solvent as a cleaning agent, special safety measures are necessary. Read the instructions
supplied with these materials.
Assembly instructions
1. The first step is to assemble the boatstand from parts 2, 3 and 4, so that you have a stable
support for the hull, part 1, from the outset. The end supports for the hull should be lined with self-
adhesive foam tape, part 5, to avoid scratching the painted surfaces. It may be necessary to trim the
front and rear supports to obtain an accurate fit.
2. Glue the stern, part 6, to the hull using Stabilit express: insert the stern tube, part 11, through the
hull and the stern to ensure correct alignment. The joint lines can then be filled and sanded smooth.
3. The rudder bush, part 8, takes the form of a 33 mm length of 6 / 5.2 mm Ø brass tube. Glue one
pivot sleeve, part 9 (brass tube, 5 / 4.2 Ø x 5 mm), in each end of the bush using cyano. Slip the
prepared rudder bush onto the shaft of the rudder blade, part 7, then temporarily install the whole
assembly at the stern end of the hull, as shown in the drawing. Make any adjustments required to
obtain a close fit, check that the rudder swivels smoothly, then glue the rudder bush to the hull. It is
no longer possible to remove the rudder once you have completed this stage.
4. The next step is to install the stern tube and shaft, part 11, together with the stern bulkhead, part
12.
5. Before gluing these two parts in place, the base plate, part 14, should also be trimmed to fit
together with the mounting blocks, part 15. Temporarily install the steam engine or electric motor, so
that you can align the propeller shaft properly in conjunction with the shaft coupling, part 48a. Satisfy
yourself that all these parts line up correctly before gluing the stern tube and the stern bulkhead to the
hull permanently.

6. If you wish to remove the propeller shaft, please note that it can only be withdrawn forward,
because the rudder can no longer be removed. This applies unless you come up with a different
method of securing the rudder.
7. The mounting blocks can now be glued securely in place, reinforcing the joints with glass cloth
and resin. We suggest that you attach the base plate to the blocks using wood-screws, so that it can
be removed again at any time if necessary. However, you may prefer to glue it in place permanently.
8. The RC installation plate, part 13, can now be fitted. We recommend that the receiving system,
i.e. the servos and pushrods, should be installed at this early stage, as shown in the drawing.
For the electric version you will need one servo (usually included in the set) and a speed controller.
For the steam-powered version you require an additional two servos to control the steam engine. If
you intend installing a steam engine, please bear in mind that the engine funnel must be located in
the exact centre of the boat’s funnel.
9. Mount the servos on the RC plate using suitable servo mounts (not included in the kit).
When you have completed all the installation work inside the hull, you can glue the main deck, part
16, in place, taking care to make the joints completely sound and watertight.
10. The openings for the hawse pipes, part 17, and the chain pipes, parts 18, are first drilled using a
small bit, then gradually opened up to an oval shape using a round file until the pipes are an exact fit.
Cut the pipes to follow the contours of the hull sides before gluing them in place.
11. The next step is a little tricky: cutting the scuppers (oval openings which allow water to drain off
the deck) in the bulwark. Three holes should be drilled or machined out on each side, by drilling
downward at an angle from the inside of the hull, as shown in the cross-section on the plan. Three 5
mm Ø holes side by side produce an opening about 15 x 5 mm in size, which can then be opened up
to final shape using files or similar tools. Use a flat file to finish off the scuppers, trimming them to the
exact shape shown in the drawing.
Tip: it is easy to damage the deck when drilling the holes, so lay a piece of 0.5 mm brass sheet on
the deck and push it up against the bulwark; this acts as a support for the drill bit.
12. The eight cable hawses, part 21, can now be made from ABS and trimmed to fit in the bulwark at
the marked points. File out oval openings in the bulwark, so that the outer and inner halves of the
cable hawses meet in the middle.
13. The 46 bulwark stanchions, parts 19, and the reinforcements, parts 20, are supplied as slightly
overlength laser-cut parts. Trim each one individually to fit against the bulwark, as shown in the
drawing.
14. Cut the bollards, parts 22, to length from 10 mm Ø tube. Cut the transverse bars, part 23, from 3
mm Ø aluminium rod, and glue them to the bollards together with the ABS caps, part 24, as shown in
the drawing. The support plates, parts 25, are laser-cut ABS parts, and should be glued to the
bulwark as shown in the drawing.
15. Attach the bow bollard, part 27, and the transverse bar, part 28, to the bow section 26.
16. Assemble the stern platform, part 29, and the stanchions, part 30, as shown in the drawing; these
parts are cut from 5 x 2 mm and 6 x 6 mm mahogany strip.
17. Solder together the framework, part 33, for the awning, part 31, and attach it to the bulwark (do
not glue it). Secure the awning framework by soldering the washers, parts 34, to the framework as
shown on the plan.
18. Glue the lamp platform, part 35, to the awning framework using cyano.
19. Parts 36 to 41 are ready-made parts, and are included in the Fittings Set. The anchor winch is
slightly more difficult to make, but it is supplied with its own assembly instructions.
20. The tyre fenders, parts 42, are assembled from pairs of vacuum-moulded ABS shells, which
should be cut out carefully and glued together. Attach them to the cleats, parts 43, on the bulwark
stanchions using the retaining lanyards, parts 44.
21. Each of the seat benches, parts 45, is assembled from six laser-cut ABS parts, then clad with the
longitudinal mahogany strips, parts 46, and the transverse strips, parts 47.
22. The final stage is to attach the propeller, part 48, to the propeller shaft.
23. The hawsers, parts 49, should be coiled up neatly as shown in the drawing, and glued to the deck.
24. The next step is to prepare the GRP superstructure, part 50, by cutting all the openings for the
portholes, the toplight, the pressure ventilators, the funnel, the windows, the doors and the sliding
hatch, as shown in the various sketches on the plan.
25. At this point we recommend that you complete the internal cladding of the wheelhouse, using
parts 106 to 110. These parts are all supplied as slightly oversized laser-cut 2 mm mahogany panels,
to allow for the fact that the laminating process tends to produce a finished moulding of varying
thickness. There are only two means of compensating for the irregularity: you can either machine out
the corners using a rotary milling cutter, or trim the individual mahogany parts to fit. Neither solution is
exactly easy or pleasant work, but the result is worth it, because the finished wheelhouse looks very
impressive.

Please note that all the windows and door sections must be an accurate fit over the openings in the
wheelhouse; aim to leave a projecting 1 mm flange of mahogany, in order to provide a support for the
glazing panels, parts 105.
26. When this work is complete, the glazing panels, parts 105, and the window frames, parts 99 and
100, can be prepared and installed. The glazing panels are 46 x 28 mm in size, and should be
trimmed to fit individually. The window frames are cut from 1 x 5 mm and 2 x 3 mm mahogany strip
wood.
The two doors, parts 103, are each assembled from two identical 2 mm laser-cut parts. Trim the
glazing panels to fit from the rear. Make the door window frames, parts 105, from 1 x 5 mm
mahogany strips, and trim them to fit from the front. The door should be slightly narrower than the
frame in order to leave space for the door hinges, parts 113a. The door frame, parts 101 and 102, is
made from 1 x 5 mm and 2 x 3 mm mahogany strip.
27. The wheelhouse floor, part 109, can either be left loose, so that it can be removed from
underneath, or glued in place permanently. To dissipate the warm air and provide a supply of fresh
air to the burner, you may wish to install one or two cooling fans, Order No. 1950, in the wheelhouse
floor; this is left up to you. The fan(s) are powered by a 12 V / 0.5 Ah battery which can be installed in
the space forward of the wheelhouse. Fit a switch, e.g. Order No. 4160.1, in the circuit, and you can
switch the fans on manually when the steam boiler is heating up, and then again at the conclusion of
each run. Of course, the wheelhouse doors must be left open during all runs, otherwise the fans will
be unable to move air as required; as an alternative you could leave several windows open.
28. Cut the openings in the toplight, part 51, for the toplight covers, parts 52, and glue them
permanently to the superstructure. Drill 12 mm Ø holes in the toplight covers for the portholes, parts
53.
If you are installing a steam engine, you should omit the porthole glazing to allow the warm air to
escape freely. For the same reason four or all six of the toplight covers should also be left open, as
shown in the drawing.
Make up the hinges, parts 54, from 0.5 mm ABS, and bend them to shape by hand. The toplight
covers should also be fitted with handles, parts 55, and struts, parts 56.
29. Each of the companionways, parts 57, can now be assembled from five laser-cut ABS parts. In
the same way assemble the three-part sliding roof, part 58.
The two companionway doors, parts 59, are assembled from laser-cut parts and fitted with the
portholes, parts 60. Complete them by adding the door handles, parts 61, and the hinges, parts 62,
which are made up from brass wire as shown in the drawing.
30. The pressure ventilators, parts 64, and the portholes, parts 65, are supplied as ready-made parts,
and should be fitted in the positions shown in the drawing.
31. The pressure ventilators, parts 66, are supplied as vacuum-moulded ABS parts. Cut out the parts,
join them, fill the joint lines, and attach them to the bases, parts 67, which are cut from aluminium
tube. To ensure that the pressure ventilators are securely mounted, reinforce each one on the inside
of the superstructure with a mounting ring, part 68.
32. The steps, parts 69, and the mounting brackets, parts 70, are supplied as laser-cut parts which
are glued to the superstructure as shown in the drawing.
33. Make up the handrails, parts 71, 72 and 73, from 1.5 mm Ø brass rod as shown in the drawing.
34. The sliding hatch, part 74, is a laser-cut part, and is designed to be mounted in guide rails, parts
75, made from channel-section brass strip. The hatch should be left open while the steam-powered
version is operating. Bend a handle, part 76, to shape from brass rod, and attach it to the sliding
hatch to enable it to be moved to and fro.
35. The angled hatches, parts 77, and the latch levers, parts 78, should also present no problems.
They can also be fitted in the “open” position if you wish.
36. The lifebelts, parts 79, are supplied as ready-made plastic components; mount them on the lifebelt
supports, parts 80. The latter are laser-cut ABS parts, and should be bent to final shape by hand to
allow the lifebelts to be fitted.
37. Attach two portholes, parts 81, to the front face of the superstructure.
38. The funnel, part 82, is supplied as a ready-made GRP moulding. Two threaded rods, parts 83,
have to be glued or glassed in on the inside, exactly in the centre, as shown in the drawing (see
section D-D). These make it possible to attach the funnel really securely to the superstructure using
two M2.5 nuts and two washers.
39. Parts 84 to 90 are all made up from brass tube or 0.5 mm brass sheet, as shown in the drawing,
and require no further description.
40. The flagstock, part 92, takes the form of a length of 4 mm Ø beech dowel, fitted with a truck (top
knob), part 95. Glue a mounting tube, part 93, in the base, part 94, at an angle to accept the
flagstock. The flag, part 97, is a ready-made item, and should be attached to the flagstock using a
lanyard, part 98, and two rings, parts 96, as this system allows the flag to be run up or down at will.

41. The forward doors, parts 112, consist of laser-cut mahogany parts, and are framed with a door
frame, part 111, which is made from 2 x 3 mm mahogany strip wood. The door hinges, parts 113, and
the door handles, parts 115, are made from brass rod as shown in the drawing. Make up the door
fitting plates, parts 114, from 0.5 mm brass sheet.
42. The steering wheel, part 116, is a ready-made item, and is fitted on a mahogany steering console,
part 117; the latter should be glued to the front internal cladding of the wheelhouse.
43. A cornice, part 118, can now be cut from 4 x 4 mm mahogany and attached all round the top edge
of the wheelhouse. Cut the top flange, part 119, from 3 x 5 mm mahogany and glue it in place.
44. The navigation lanterns, parts 120, are supplied as ready-made components, and are mounted in
lantern brackets assembled from three laser-cut parts. The lantern brackets are glued to the outside
edge of the roof on either side, with short supports, parts 122, cut from 4 mm Ø beech dowel on the
inside edges.
45. Making the lamp mast, part 123, is a slightly more complicated task. The base is a 6 x 6 mm strip
of mahogany, with four laser-cut mahogany parts glued all round on the outside; these are the
reinforcements, parts 124. Sand these parts down to nothing towards the top, as shown in the
drawing.
46. Glue two lamp platforms, parts 125, to the front face of the mast, together with the lamp consoles,
part 126, which are laser-cut mahogany parts. The mast lamps, parts 129, are fitted on top of these
assemblies.
47. The transverse beam, part 127, is fitted on the mast from above, with a ring, part 130, at either
end. Right at the top the mast terminates in a two-part truck made of mahogany, whose top face
should be rounded off neatly.
48. The mast is mounted in a three-part mast console, part 131, which is assembled from laser-cut
ABS components. Secure the mast using two M2 screws, parts 132, and two nuts, parts 133.
49. The loudhailer, part 134, is a ready-made item, and should be glued to the roof of the
wheelhouse.
50. Make the aerial, part 135, from brass wire, and mount it on the roof in an aerial base, part 136,
which is made from brass tube.
Painting
General notes
• If you wish to apply a brush-painted finish, it is really essential to use high-quality
modelling paints. We suggest that you ask your local model shop or a specialist paint supplier for
recommended paint types. As a basic rule we only recommend the Graupner colour paint series, as
we know that they have been tested on a very wide variety of base surfaces.
• Be sure to use ONLY paints of the same type and make, otherwise they might react with
each other, either dissolving the earlier coat, or causing unsightly bubbling. Be particularly careful
when combining spray can paints with types designed for brush application; always check on some
scrap material that the materials are compatible with each other.
• To obtain good paint adhesion sand the surfaces lightly beforehand using fine wet-and-
dry paper (600-grit to 800-grit). Remove all traces of grease from the surfaces using a non-greasy
liquid detergent or meths. Try not to touch the cleaned parts again before you paint them, as the
perspiration in your skin also contains grease which will soil the surface once more.
• Small parts are best attached temporarily to a piece of wood using double-sided adhesive
tape before painting. Apply the paint, allow it to dry, then remove the finished parts again before
attaching them to the model.
• If you are using spray paints, carefully mask off all areas which are not to be painted. Seal
all holes too, as the fine mist of paint penetrates every opening, no matter how small.
• Read and observe the instructions supplied by the paint manufacturer.
Colour scheme
We recommend that you finish the boat in the colour scheme shown in the kit box illustrations, but you can
also use any other scheme you wish. Apply the self-adhesive decals as shown in the pictures.
Operating the model

If you intend to operate the boat with a steam engine installed, it is important to run-in the power plant on
the bench before installing it in the model. This is particularly important for adjusting the flame height
accurately: open the gas regulating valve just to the point where the flame burns cleanly, without any
yellow coloration, and without soot formation. One gas fill provides around 25 minutes of running, although
for safety’s sake you should either refill the gas tank earlier than this, or keep the boat close to the bank
after about 15 - 20 minutes’ running. When the flame goes out, the steam engine stops immediately, and
this could present you with problems in salvaging the boat. Open the regulating valve slightly when re-
filling the tank, as the liquid gas will force the air in the tank out due to its lighter weight. The tank is full
when liquid gas squirts out of the nozzle. Don’t forget to check the water level in the boiler.
Using an exhaust steam condenser helps considerably to prevent the model becoming soiled with a
mixture of condensed water and oil. Remember to empty it after every second or third run.
For more details concerning the operation of the steam engine please refer to the operating instructions
supplied with the power plant.
