Assembly Instructions

Assembling this model requires patience and attention to detail. Please follow these guidelines for a successful build:

1. Preparation: Choose a large, well-lit, and undisturbed workspace. Sorting the pieces by color and type before starting can significantly streamline the assembly process.
2. Follow the Manual: The set includes a detailed, color-illustrated instruction booklet. Follow each step carefully. Pay close attention to the images, as they are the primary guide for piece placement.
3. Piece Identification: Some pieces may have subtle variations. Observe the number of locking bumps and the exact shape of each piece as depicted in the instructions.
4. Tools: A small pair of smooth-jawed needle-nose pliers and a thin-bladed screwdriver (like those used for eyeglasses) can be helpful for correcting misplaced blocks or separating tightly connected pieces.
5. Patience is Key: This is a complex model. It is normal to occasionally need to backtrack and re-do a section. Take your time and enjoy the process.
6. Connections: While most connections are secure, some may feel slightly loose. Ensure pieces are fully pressed together. If a connection remains loose, a small dot of model glue can be applied for stability, though this is generally not required.

Operating Instructions

This FULHOLPE Missouri Memorial Battleship model is primarily designed for display. However, it incorporates several interactive features:

• Movable Turrets: The main gun turrets are designed to rotate, allowing for dynamic display options.
• Roller Skating Functionality: The model includes built-in rollers on the underside of the hull, allowing it to be smoothly moved across flat surfaces. This feature also enables the propellers to turn when the model is rolled.
• Minifigures: The included Navy minifigures can be placed in various positions on the ship to create different scenes.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your FULHOLPE Missouri Memorial Battleship model, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush. For more thorough cleaning, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth, avoiding excessive moisture. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Storage: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or material degradation. If disassembling for storage, keep all pieces organized to prevent loss.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully, especially when moving it, to avoid accidental detachment of pieces.

Troubleshooting

Should you encounter any issues during assembly or with the product, please refer to the following:

• Missing Pieces: While products are strictly inspected, a small percentage may have missing accessories due to human factors. If you find any missing pieces, please contact FULHOLPE customer support directly. We will arrange for the necessary replacement parts to be sent to you.
• Difficulty with Instructions: If a step is unclear, re-examine the image carefully. Sometimes, viewing the image from a different perspective or sorting pieces again can help clarify the next step. Online communities or video guides for similar models may also offer visual assistance.
• Loose Connections: Ensure that each block is fully pressed into place. If a connection remains loose, carefully remove the pieces and re-attach them. For persistent issues, a small amount of model glue can secure the connection, but this should be a last resort.
