Description:

This vent is incorrectly orientated and is in the wrong location. The cowl part of the vent sat on the aft side of the motor housing not forward.

To correct this.

  1. Modify motor unit in preparation for gluing on the cowl vent as described in the Motor Unit section of the Vent Overview.
  2. Cut of existing duct opposite motor unit and add a short circular duct as described in the Duct section of the Vent Overview.
  3.  
    Modify the cowl vent as described in the Cowl Vent section of the Vent Overview and glue onto the motor unit facing aft.
  4. Locate the vent further aft than the Deck marking (i.e.. closer towards the front of No. 2 funnel) so it sits behind the aft edge of the roof line of the Grand Staircase.
  5. Glue into position making sure that the motor faces starboard.
  • Note: Bob Read mentions that the starboard cowl vent was larger than its Port counterpart as can be seen in H19 needs an extension added and a wider opening.
  • Note: The part is listed correctly as G25 in the instructions but the artist has drawn a G33
Note: All instruction step numbers in () denote the instruction step for the rereleased Mincraft model.
