1. On opening the pack, lay the sheets of wood on a

flat surface, orientated the same way as the plan sheet
on the reverse of the outer picture. DO NOT remove
any pieces from the frame at this time.

2. Next, using the plan sheet, locate those pieces that have slots
marked by the number 1. Gently remove them from the frame. If the
pieces also have much higher numbers on them it may be useful to
write those numbers next to those slots on the wood in pencil, these
number can be erased later on. ONLY remove those pieces that are
required.

3. Using the picture as a guide, slot the pieces together, you may wish to use the
enclosed sandpaper to gently enlarge the slots to assist in this process. There are
four basic types to connections used;

stay in number order to ensure that the pieces are fitted in the correct order. It may be
necessary to remove pieces already fitted to fit the next piece. It is best to avoid using
glue at this stage, in case they need to be removed later. These kits are constructed
from natural wood, which due to moisture content can vary in thickness, if the slot is
too tight use the enclosed sandpaper, if the slot is too loose, pack with a small piece
of paper.

4. Where the next piece to be used has already been removed from the frame, it may
be useful to refer to those numbers marked on the pieces in step 2.

5. When the model is completed, it can be painted, varnished or left in its natural
state. It is recommended, to ensure that the pieces stay together, that the entire
model is brush with a generous coating of 1 part PVA glue to 5 part water, and
