Decal Sheet
ABC
The 3D printing process requires a supporting
frame during printing, see below. 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.
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
page 2. When everything is dry, proceed to final
assembly, using CAglue.

Important -The decals must be cut apart (as shown
on the right) just inside the dotted lines before
immersing them in water.

I sprayed the bed flat white, then sprayed it with gloss
coat before applying the decals. I apply paint to the
signal lights using a toothpick. After the decals have
dried, I sprayed with glosscoat again to preserve the
decals.
Step 1 - Insert the bottom front
of the cab behind the bumper as
shown above, then push gently
on the rear part of the cab roof
until the cab snaps into place.
