THE GOLDEN DRAGON TAKEOUT

Thanks for purchasing this Cornerstone kit! All parts are styrene plastic, so use compatible glue and paint to complete your

model. Please take a few minutes to read these instructions and study the drawings before beginning.

It may surprise you to learn that pizza, French fries, catsup, chop suey, bagels, apple pie and many other “All-American” foods

really trace their origins to other countries! Many arrived with immigrants as recipes from home, but that began to change during

both World Wars when soldiers anxious for something different from typically bland military rations, discovered small eateries

where they were stationed and dishes that had previously been virtually unknown outside of ethnic neighborhoods in the largest

American cities. Back home, they sought out local sources for their new favorites and introduced them to family and friends. That

opened the door to expansion of ethnic restaurants of all kinds, many of which located in neighborhood storefronts, or remod-

eled existing structures that had once served other businesses.

1) Begin by gluing the Rear Wall Halves (9, 11) to each other at the

attachment pins. Add End Caps (10) next, and Cap Trim (12) last.

Assemble Chimney parts (33, 34, 35, 36, 37) as shown and set

aside - do not add it to the rear wall at this time!

2) Press Lamp Fixtures (22, 23) into the

locations shown in Ceiling Assembly (28). The

Fixtures should be flush with the top surface of

Part 28. Note: Part 22 has a curve cast into

the top that matches the corner curve. When

installed properly, the curves align to form a

smooth surface. Secure each Fixture with a

small drop of glue.

3) Glue the Front and Rear Halves (30, 31) of the

Upper Roof to each other, and to Spacer (25) as

shown. Decorate Glass (24) with the provided decals.

Lay Trim Plate (27) face down on a flat surface, and

using the alignment pegs, press on Glass (24) and

Backing Plate (26) to the pins. A drop of glue on each

pin end will hold the assembly together. Repeat this

process for the other side. Test fit each assembly to the

Upper Roof, make any adjustments for a proper fit, then

glue in position. Finish by adding the Decorative Tops

(50) last. Be careful, as part 50 is fragile and easily

broken with rough handling!

Before 4) NOTE: This step is optional. To change the look of the kit, and add a Drive-Thru / Pick-Up window, remove the shaded areas from the parts indicated. Use care, as the parts are fragile. We recommend you measure and scribe the dimentions on Frosted Glass (21) first. Drill out the corners with a #60 Drill Bit, then cut out the remaining portion with a sharp knife blade.

8) Glue the Upper Roof assembly from Step 3, to the Lower Roof. Add Chimney Base (32) next. Be sure it fits properly, and does not overhang the rear edge of the Lower Roof. Make adjustments if necessary. Then glue the Rear Wall Assembly from Step 1 to the back of the structure. The Chimney presses over the post on Part 32, and into the slot on the Rear Wall. Add Signboard (38) to the slot in the Lower Roof. NOTE: if you intend to add the printed sign, be sure the plain flat side of part 38 is to the front.
