Using this hobby shop kit is easy. First, take out all the parts from the package. You'll notice they're already molded in the right colors, so you don't have to paint them much. Start by assembling the basic brick structure. Connect the pieces according to the printed guide inside the kit. Attach the clear window glazing carefully to the display windows. Then, add the printed interior details to make it look more realistic. Hang the wall - mounted signs with the roof brace as shown. You can choose to build it in the style of the 1950s, 1970s, or 2000s, depending on your layout. When handling the plastic parts, be gentle to avoid breakage. Store the kit in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the colors from fading. If any parts get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Enjoy adding this great hobby shop to your layout!
