Contractors Loco Assembly Instructions
It is suggested that you read these instructions through before commencing construction as this
kit is a little more complex than some of our other kits. Although not a difficult build it is vital that
you build this in the sequence outlined here.
A minimum of tools are needed to assemble the kit. Sandpaper and sanding block, some strong
rubber bands or weights to hold parts in place while the glue dries.
This kit requires glue and paint to complete. It can be built entirely with PVA (exterior type) or
aliphatic resin. A favourite glue is Titebond 3 aliphatic. Excess glue can be wiped away with a
damp rag.
MDF is not moisture proof and the model should therefore be painted or varnished before use.
First apply a sealer/primer - MDF sealer, thinned PVA or grey automotive primer will all do the
job. The cut edges may need more than one application of primer to seal them. Cans of
automotive spray paint work well and give a good finish. If brush painting then use acrylic or
enamel paint.
