3. Assembly Instructions
Follow the step-by-step instructions provided in the included printed manual to assemble your building block model. Sort pieces by color and shape before beginning to facilitate the process. This set may offer a "2-in-1" build option, allowing for the construction of either the BTR-80 AS IFV or an alternative model like a Missile Carrier Vehicle. Refer to your printed instructions for specific details on both builds.
- Unpack all building blocks and separate them into categories (e.g., by color, size, or type).
- Refer to the printed instruction booklet for detailed, illustrated assembly steps for your chosen model.
- Begin by constructing the base chassis of the vehicle, then proceed to the body, turret, and other details.
- Ensure all self-locking bricks are firmly connected to prevent the model from falling apart during play.
- Assemble the soldier figures as shown in the instructions.

5. Maintenance and Storage
- Cleaning: To clean the model, gently wipe with a dry, soft cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Storage: Store the assembled model or unassembled blocks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration or warping of the plastic. Keep small parts in a sealed container to avoid loss.
- Disassembly: If disassembling the model, do so carefully to avoid damaging the bricks. Store disassembled parts in a sorted manner for easier reassembly.
6. Troubleshooting
- Missing Pieces: In the rare event of missing pieces, carefully review the instruction manual and check all packaging materials. If pieces are still missing, contact the seller for assistance.
- Difficulty in Assembly: Ensure you are following the instructions step-by-step. Sometimes, a piece may appear similar to another; double-check the shape and size. Apply firm, even pressure when connecting bricks.
- Loose Connections: If parts are not holding together firmly, ensure they are correctly aligned and fully pressed into place.
