Assembly Instructions

Thank you for downloading the "YZ450FM"paper craft model. By simply following this manual while referring to the names and numbers shown on the parts sheets, you can assemble an authentic-looking replica of the YZ450FM. Assembly instructions: Eighteen A4-sized sheets. Paper craft: Fourteen A4-sized sheets with 193 parts in all These instructions apply only to the "YZ450FM". These Paper Craft parts are easier to work with when printed out on strong, thick paper (like postcard stock).
In creating these Paper Craft models we use 110kg Kent paper stock

Note

To begin
Tools and materials needed
-Ruler - scissors - blade cutter or "Exacto-knife" - awl or other pointed tool (for making a folding crease) - felt pen - pin set - glue - hand towel ( for cleaning your fingers) dictionary or other heavy book ( to press the papers flat).

Basic working method and markings

Solid lines

Fold along these lines. The printed surface should be on the outside of the folded shape.

Items of Caution
*Take care when using sharp or pointed objects or when using bladed cutting tools. Place a heavy sheet of paper under the paper you want to cut. *Use glue and other adhesives only in well-ventilated areas. *When printing, use a slightly reduced font size. There may be differences in dimensions, depending on the type of printer used.

Broken lines

Fold along these lines. The printed surface should be on the inside of the folded shape.

How to assemble
*Follow the working method and markings carefully. *Cut carefully along the outter line with cutting blade, Exacto-knife or scissors.

Dotted line

Cut along these lines.

One - point Advice

*Cut carefully with cutting blade, Exacto-knife or scissors. *For folding parts, first use an awl or other pointed tool to make a light crease along the dotted or solid line. This will make the folds straight. Avoid making strong creases, as this will cause the paper to tear. *As an adhesive, white wood glue is recommended. Avoid over application as this may cause the paper to wrinkle. *Before beginning assembly, test adhesive amounts on extra paper. *Occasionally, white spots will be apparent on folds and cuts. Use a marker or pencil to fill in these spots. It is recommended that this be done after each stage of assembly because coloring becomes more difficult once parts are assembled.

Do not fold or cut the parts marked .

Cut out parts marked with an asterisk(*).

Red dots are the reference positions for gluing surfaces.
