• Chassis Construction: Start with the largest base plates and connect them firmly.
• Engine and Cockpit: Build up the central structure, incorporating the detailed engine components and the driver's cockpit area.
• Wheels and Tires: Attach the slick tires to the wheel hubs and then secure them to the car's axles.
• Aerodynamic Elements: Add the front and rear spoilers, side pods, and other decorative pieces to complete the F1 car's distinctive look.

5. Operating the Model

The Sembo F1 Racing Car is primarily a display model and an educational toy. While it is designed for durability, handle it with care.

• Display: Place your completed model on a stable surface to showcase its detailed design.
• Play: The model can be gently rolled on smooth surfaces. Avoid excessive force or dropping the model to prevent parts from detaching or breaking.
• Interaction: Encourage imaginative play and learning about vehicle mechanics and aerodynamics.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your building block model.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth or a small brush to gently remove dust from the model. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.
• Storage: If disassembling for storage, keep all blocks in a sealed container to prevent loss and protect them from dust and direct sunlight.
• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the blocks to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may cause discoloration or warping of the plastic.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Missing Pieces: Double-check the packaging and your workspace. If a piece is genuinely missing, contact customer support with the part number (if available) and a description.
• Blocks Not Connecting: Ensure you are using the correct blocks as per the instructions. Apply firm, even pressure when connecting. If a block is warped, it may need replacement.
• Model Falls Apart: This usually indicates loose connections. Re-examine the sections that are detaching and press the blocks together more firmly.
