I lost some Walthers directions, too.  I e-mailed them and they sent a PDF of the instructions via e-mail the same day.  I sized them the way I wanted and printed them up.

This is my version of the kit:

I painted it with a rust-red primer and applied my own decals and some detail parts.

As I recall, the box had a lot of spare windows.  They had several big sprues of them, and the building just doesn't use all that many.

It's a background building, but I put it on an aisle.  I made it a "slice of life" scene, sitting directly above a subway station, but adding a shallow interior.

It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.

I have also found a few "extra" parts in the Walthers background buildings kits.  I plan to use then to kitbash another background building.

If they included any extraneous pieces I'm not sure. Would have just thrown them in the extra parts box

Extra parts?? Save for a kitbash; 2 buildings (almost) for the price of one! Cool

Bruce, I built that kit and have the instructions.  If you send me a PM (include your email) I'll scan them and send you a pdf scan.  The instructions are simple (just a blown up diagram) and only show how to put the front, sides, base, roof and platform together as you'd expect.  If they included any extraneous pieces I'm not sure.  Would have just thrown them in the extra parts box.

Lost the instructions to this kit. Would they be available on line? It is a background kit and the picture shows a two story building but there is a wall in the parts that is a 5 story wall. What goes on here?
