WELCOME ABOARD! 

Thank you for purchasing a WMBC Police Launch kit. This striking design epitomises the type 

used by MOD Marine Units for overt counter-terrorism policing of HM Naval Bases and 

high-profile armed patrolling of strategic waterfront locations. 

Here at the Wooden Model Boat Company we pride ourselves on producing traditional model 

boat kits that build quickly and accurately into delightful semi-scale replicas, each as happy 

cruising on the lake as it is adorning the mantelpiece at home. Using precise laser-cut balsa and 

ply parts, coupled with a semi self-jigging / interlocking hull frame, there’s little that can go wrong 

during construction of your model, providing you closely follow these instructions. Whether you 

plan to build your Reviera for two-channel radio control or static display the build process is very 

similar, as are the glues and materials you’ll require to finish and waterproof the boat (see 

Recommended Materials). If you’re new to model boat building allow a quiet 30 minutes to read 

these instructions carefully and to familiarise yourself with every part in the box, its function and 

when it’s required in the assembly sequence. 

▢ 10. Locate the three rudder support rings (14), glue them cleanly and accurately together, then glue them to the inner surface of the stern skin (13), in perfect alignment with the hole for the rudder tube. When set, glue part 13 in position with the forward edge located exactly half way over frame 6.

▢ 18. Locate the parts shown in the illustration above and give all the brown, laser cut edges a light sanding to aid glue adhesion. Temporarily attach the deck frame (23) to your flat building surface using six or eight small pieces of paper-thin low-tack double-sided tape. This will ensure that no twisting occurs during assembly. ▢ 19. Locate the printed deck (24) and glue accurately in position on the deck frame.
