4. Assembly Instructions (Setup)

Follow these general steps for assembling your Kibri Warehouse model. Refer to the included diagram for specific part identification and placement.

1. Preparation: Carefully remove all parts from the plastic sprues using a hobby knife or sprue cutters. Clean any excess plastic (flash) from the parts with a small file or sandpaper.
2. Dry Fit: Before applying any adhesive, dry fit parts together to ensure proper alignment and fit. This helps prevent errors during final assembly.
3. Assembly Sequence: Begin by assembling the main structural components, such as walls and floor sections, as indicated in the diagram. Use a suitable plastic model adhesive, applying it sparingly.
4. Roof and Details: Once the main structure is stable, attach the roof sections and smaller detail parts like doors, windows, and decorative elements.
5. Painting (Optional): If you plan to paint your model, it is often easier to paint certain sub-assemblies before final attachment. Allow paint to dry completely before handling.
6. Finishing Touches: Apply any decals according to their instructions. Ensure all parts are securely attached and the model is stable.
