Please read these instructions fully before starting construction.
PVA or equivalent glue will be required to stick sections together.
Sand paper can be used to gently clean any joints.
A sharp modelling knife will be required to remove sections from the sprue. Please use knives with due care and remember
to cut away from yourself at all times.
During the construction of this model, you may find it convenient to use pegs / elastic bands to hold pieces in place while
you allow glue to dry.
Take the pieces shown above from the sprue.
Attach the ramps to one of the side pieces (see pic)
Then glue the other side piece into position.
Take the two end strips.
Glue these into place.
The inner bracing supports.

Attach two supports as shown –the etched line on
them should be facing away from you (towards the top
of the model).
Turn the model over and attach the other two
supports.
Take these four roof pieces.
Glue them together (see pic).
Take two of the inner skin pieces.
Attach them to the model as shown, with their etched
lines facing outwards.
Take the three roof components.
Then glue them into place.
Add the other inner skin side section.
Glue the base to the model.
Glue the windows strip into place with the widest
blank at the bottom. The strip will touch the base
and have a small gap at the top.

Glue the final section of inner skin into position.
We suggest you paint your model at this point (see
below)
Take the four outer skin pieces and glue them into
position around the model.
Painting
Once the inner core of the building was complete and the glue had dried we sprayed the entire structure silver with
an aerosol / rattle can –then did a rough dry-brush of sky blue across the sides of the model to simulate the sky
reflecting in the windows.
The roof and the edges of the models base were painted grey.
The central strip of “windows”on one end of the inner core was carefully painted white.
The sections of the buildings outer skin was sprayed white (aerosol / rattle can) then once dry some sections were
painted dark green (DIY emulsion paint) and the strip at the top of the building dark blue (DIY emulsion paint).
After final assembly any necessary tidy-up on the paint job was performed.
