READ PR IOR TO ASSEMBLY
To enhance the aesthetic and realistic qualities o this building,
parts have been designed and manu actured in scale proportions.
As a result, some parts are ragile and require care in assembly.
There ore... easy does it. As with any model builder kit, a degree
o patience is required to achieve the best results.
ASSEMBLY HINTS
• Read through these instructions and examine the parts supplied to familiarize yourself with all aspects
of the building prior to assembly.
• Remove the parts as needed, not at random.
• To remove the parts from the sprues, cut, not break, each part.
• However, when removing Clear Parts from the sprue, bend the Clear Part back and forth.
The bending action will safely remove part from sprue.
• If you choose to paint any parts, we suggest you do so prior to assembly.
• To ensure a nice, tight fit, carefully remove all excess sprue marks with a modeling knife or hobby file.
This is a necessity or parts will not fit properly.
• Follow the sequence guide to ensure correct placement of the parts.
• VERY I PORTANT - Before gluing, dry fit the parts.
• Use glue sparingly, especially when assembling Window Frames and Clear Parts. These parts have been
designed to tight tolerances, in many cases enabling you to trap the Window Frames between the Wall and
the Clear Part, and therefore require only "tack" gluing.
• All Window Clear Parts are marked "THIS SIDE UP." For proper assembly, be sure "THIS SIDE UP" is
facing you and legible when assembling. This will properly orient the part to slide easily onto locator tabs.
• Prior to assembling a Window Clear Part, be sure you have matched "Open" and "Closed" Window Frames
with "Open" and "Closed" (solid) Clear Parts (if applicable to your model). The Clear Parts, once mounted
on the mounting tab, are difficult to remove from the tab. If the Clear Part must be removed, gently pry the
Clear Part upward until loose. When mounting Window Frames, be careful that they are positioned correctly,
according to the instructions of your specific model.
• Prior to assembly, brick areas can be enhanced by adding mortar (if applicable for your model). We use
Robert’s Brick ortar Formula. It’s easy to apply and looks great. For product information, contact Robert’s
Products Co., P.O. Box 270057, ilwaukee, WI 53227.
• Use the full-color box lid as a helpful guide during assembly.
• Now it’s time to break ground for the construction of your Cityscenes™ building. Take your time
and have fun!
