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

Basic working method and markings

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).

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.

Dotted line

How to assemble

Cut along these lines.

*Follow the working method and markings carefully.

*Cut carefully along the outter line with cutting blade,
Exacto-knife or scissors.

One - point Advice

Do not fold or cut the parts
marked .

*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.

Cut out parts marked with an

asterisk(*).

*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.

Red dots are the reference

positions for gluing surfaces.
