Build Tips

1

Check the piece count on the bag against the parts list before starting — knowing what you have prevents mid-build surprises.

2

Even in small sets, connection order matters. Follow the steps rather than building sections independently.

3

Vintage sets may show slight color variation from modern LEGO due to different ABS formulas. This is normal and part of the set's character, not a defect.
