Thanks for purchasing this Cornerstone Series® kit. Please read all instructions and study the drawings before starting —

directions for the interior graphics are printed directly on that sheet. All parts are styrene plastic, so use compatible glue. If

you wish to decorate your model, use paints for plastic models. With appropriate details and signs, your finished model fits

almost any era.

This big building with its “brick curtain” style of construction fits any layout scene from the 1920s to the present. Its many

architectural features project an image of power and security that will make it stand out in your city skyline. With appropri-

ate signs and details, the finished building can be home to almost any kind of distribution center or industry.

A number of optional parts are included for the first floor which will allow you to easily customize your model, while kitbash-

ers will find lots of ideas using a basic kit as a starting point.

DECALING

1. After cutting out the decal,

dip in water for 10 seconds,

remove and let stand for 1

minute. Slide decal onto

surface, position and then blot

off any excess water.

2. Lightly brush Micro Sol® on

top. This will soften the decal

allowing it to conform to

irregular surfaces. DO NOT

TOUCH DECAL while wet!

3. When the decal is thoroughly

dry, check for any trapped air

bubbles. Prick them with the

point of a small pin or hobby

knife blade and apply more

Micro Sol®.
