PRECISE CARD MODEL

1/72

The Be-4, known also as KOR-2 /Sea
Recognition Aircraft/, was constructed in
the Berijev Design Bureau in the 1940.
The type was used against German
submarines and for convoy escort
missions during WWII.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION

Berijev Be-4

Berijev Be-4

Study the drawings of assembly steps carefully before starting the
work on the model. Make sure you understand the purpose and
place of every part.

The assembly requires some basic tools, such as scissors, sharp
modeling knife, blunt knife for scoring the fold lines, ruler and needle.
Additional materials you need are one pin to make the propeller's
shaft and one piece of cardboard approx. 0.3 mmthick for reinforcing
elements and wheels. You'll need of course suitable cement too. For
cement application you can use toothpicks or some similar tool
(special fine cement applicator is most suit

able if you have one).

First of all you must score with the blunt knife all fold lines shown on
the cutouts with short thin line marks near the parts. To avoid
mistakes and lost parts cut the necessary details shortly before their
use. The places where an additional cutting is needed are marked
with small thick line marks.

Start with the wings’ framework 1 and 6 as shown on the view A of the
assembling instruction. Cover it with the wing segments 2 - 5, using
corresponding connecting stripes. Keep character revers gull shape
of the wing and do not allow twisting. In the same way assembly the
console 7 and glue it to the wing.

Assembly the engine cowling /parts 8 - 10 and 15 - 18/. Carefully cut
the holes in the crossections where the propeller shaft’s bearing 11
will be inserted.

Assembly the propeller 11 - 14, using pin as a shaft as shown on view
C. Propeller should be capable to rotate freely in its bearing.

Live the wing propeller assemblage apart and continue with the
fuselage. Build its upper part 23 - 26 first, glueing its segments using
connecting stripes in order of their enumeration. Use crossections to
obtain exact fuselage shape. Prepare the bottom part of the fuselage
29 and after some dry tests glue it to the upper side. Glue the front
and rear cockpits 27 - 28 and the vertical stabilizer 31 on their places.

Now glue the wing assemblage to the fuselage, using supports 35 -
38. Keep front and upper view symmetry.

Assembly the floats 39 - 42 in the same manner as the fuselage
and glue them to the wings, using the supports 43 - 46.

Prepare the horizontal stabilizer parts 32 - 34 and glue them to the
vertical stabilizer, inserting in it longerone 32.

Place the mashine gun 47 in the rear cockpit and glue the
propeller assemblage in the engine.

If your model will represent the airplane on the ground, assembly
the removable transportation gear 48 - 51.

If you prefer flying model, you must add some weight in the nose
for appropriate balance. In this case you can omit propeller’s
blades.

Now your model is ready. Enjoy your Beriev Be-4.
