The 3D printing process requires a supporting frame during printing, see below left. The
printed part is cut from the frame using flush cutters and this sometimes leaves small bumps on the
part. Use a knife with a sharp new blade to cut away the bumps. When trimming bumps off the
wheels you should place the wheel on a flat surface as shown below on the right. Putting too much
stress on the wheel can cause the axle to break. For bumps on the cab body, sanding is
recommended.
After cleaning up the bumps, paint the parts and apply the decals as shown on the painting
guide on pages 2 & 3.
When everything is dry, proceed to final assembly on page 4.
Important -The decals must be cut apart (as shown below), just inside the dotted lines,
before immersing them in water.

I first paint the cube bed metallic silver, using Testors 1246 spray can. After the silver has
dried, I brush painted the cab and the side, front and rear of the cube bed with flat green. Then I
spray both the cab and bed with glosscoat. The interior of the cab is the same color as the exterior,
except for the steering wheel, which is gloss black. Then I paint the lights and trim. I use a toothpick
to apply paint to the lights, a very fine brush for trim. Then the decals are applied. After the decals
are dry, I spray with gloss coat to preserve them.
