P&O Cruise Ship Arcadia Model.

This is P&O Cruises 2nd smallest cruise ship.

It was originally built as Cunard Queen Victoria, but quite late in the build process it was decided to move the ship to the P&O brand.

Build instructions - print all plates.

Slot the 3 sections of the ship together, using the springy t joints.

Slot covering caps over - the front cap may need the T joint to be gently hammered in.

Remove the supports under the bridge overhangs and around the top of the lift shafts - as indicated below (ship pictured is the smaller 1:1000 version).

It may be necessary to use a hex key to help insert the lifts and sports courts.

The front mast is a little tricky to insert and quite fragile - so 2 copies are included on the plate.

It may be necessary to drill the hole out to 4mm, and trim to inserted lug part slightly.

It may be necessary to drill out the front flag hole to 2.5mm to fit the flag in.
