TOOLS, SUPPLIES AND REQUIRED EQUIPMENT

Your model comes with a set of specialty metric tools. You'll need to purchase other items, available from your hobby dealer, to operate
and maintain your model.

DECORATING YOUR MODEL
APPLYING THE DECALS
The main decals for your model
have been applied at the factory.
The decals are printed on self-
adhesive clear mylar and are die-
cut for easy removal. Use a hobby
knife to lift the corner of a decal
and lift it from the backing. To
apply the decals, place one end
down, hold the other end up, and
gradually smooth the decal down
with your finger as you go. This
will prevent air bubbles. Placing
both ends of the decal down and
then trying to smooth it out will
result in air pockets.
Look at the photos on the box for
typical decal placement.

TIRE GLUING
The factory tires on your model are already glued to the rims. The
tires must be glued to the rims to prevent the rims from spinning inside
the tires. The instructions here are provided to show you how to glue
replacement tires to the rims in the future. Use CA tire glue available
from your local hobby dealer. You can glue the tires without removing
the wheels from the truck. For clarity, these instructions show the process
with the wheels removed.
1. Remove a wheel from the model using the
larger (7mm) end of the universal wrench.
2. Use your thumb to push the side of the tire
away from the rim. Place one or two drops
of CA glue into the opening and release
the tire. Capillary action will draw the glue
around the bead of the tire.
3. Repeat step two at four or five points around the rim, until the tire
is completely secured to the rim. Turn the rim over and repeat the
process for the inside of the rim/tire. Repeat for the other three wheels.
4. Reinstall the wheels, make sure none of the axle pins have fallen out
from behind the hex hubs.
